Sport TalksFor the first time, Việt Nam has six athletes competing in the Asian Winter Games held in Sapporo, Japan. Việt Nam is a member of the Olympic Council of Asia so it has the responsibility to take part in its official tournaments like Asiad, Beach Games, Indoor Games and Winter Games. This is a very special journey for Việt Nam as it is the first time in our history that we are taking part in a Winter Games. Some of them competed in the Southeast Asian Games in 2011 and Asian Beach Games in 2012. Competition expenses are being met by the National Sports Administration, Asian Winter Games’ organizers as well as by other individuals and organizations.
