The Pyeongchang Winter Olympics will be the third time an Asian country has hosted the event since the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics and the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. According to Timothy Fok, a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and president of the Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, the PyeongChang Winter Games will have a positive effect on raising the level of winter sports across Asia.
By the influence of climate environment and sports habits, compared with Europe and the United States, Asian countries overall winter sports level is not high, perhaps the PyeongChang Winter Olympics is an opportunity to make winter sports in Asia become more popular, but also ushered in a new opportunity for development.
