Asian Winter Games appearances (overview) | |
South Korea competed in the 2017 Asian Winter Games in Sapporo and Obihiro, Japan from 19 to 26 February. [1] [2] The country's goal for the games was a top two finish, and a record medal haul with at least 15 gold medals. [3] [4]
South Korea competed in all five sports (eleven disciplines). [5] The team consisted of 141 athletes. [6]
On 17 February 2017, it was announced that alpine skier Jung Dong-hyun would be the country's flagbearer during the parade of nations at the opening ceremony. [7]
One of the athletes hotels is the APA Hotel in Sapporo. The founder and president of this hotel chain, Toshio Motoya, who is a strong supporter of political and historical view aligned with those of Japan's right wing. For example, Motoya claimed that "Japanese aggression, the Nanking Massacre, and comfort women" were "fabricated stories" or "fictitious". His book is available in each of the guest rooms at the hotel. This created controversy, particularly in China, which caused the games organizers to ask the hotel to take appropriate actions and remove them from guest rooms. [8] [9] The Organizing Committee will gain exclusive access over the hotel from February 12, and an organization committee official said, "we can decide what is removed and placed in the guest rooms so that we don’t place any items that offend athletes, from not only China, but also any other nation”. [10] Eventually both South Korea and China requested that their athletes stay at a different hotel, and the organizing committee obliged by changing their accommodations to the Sapporo Prince Hotel.
