Preparation edit

Preparation for the games began four years before the event. In the months leading up to the games the preparation was led by the Acting Governor of Jilin, Han Changbin.

Mascot edit

 
Lulu, the mascot

The 2007 Winter Asiad mascot was Lulu, a deer seen around Changchun commonly. It is a species of the sika deer, a native of East Asia. In the Chinese culture, this deer is considered to be a symbol of good luck and fortune.[1] It is said to be featuring a mild temper, a sporty spirit and quick response. Lulu was expected to represent the welcoming smile of the Changchunans.

Emblem edit

Combining the movements of a ski jumper and a short-track speed skater, the emblem of the 2007 Asian Winter Games consisted of two Chinese calligraphy strokes. The blue C-shaped stroke called to mind the first letter of Changchun and represented the city's characteristic as the "city of ice and snow" and "city of science and technology". The bottom green stroke symbolized peace ("friendship first, competition second") and represented the city's characteristic as the "city of everlasting spring" and "city of the forest". The emblem presented an image of "change with each passing day" and "the hawk takes to the vast sky."

Sports edit

A total of 47 medal events in ten sports and disciplines were in contention in the Sixth Winter Asian Games.

Participating nations edit

The sixth edition marked the first time that all members of the Olympic Council of Asia sent delegations to the Winter Asiad.[citation needed] The following are the 25 National Olympic Committees which competed, with the number of competitors they fielded:[2]

Seven figure skaters from Kuwait, Malaysia, Macau and a speed skater from Turkmenistan were not allowed to compete as their respective nations were not members of the International Skating Union. However, competitors were later allowed to compete, but their results were not allowed to count towards the official rankings.[3]

Controversies edit

  • At the women's 3000-meter short-track speed skating relay award ceremony on January 31, the runner-up South Korean athletes and fans displayed the slogan "Changbai Mountain is Korean territory." The next day, the OCA issued a serious warning to the South Korean delegation. The head of the Asian Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with officials of the South Korean Embassy in China to negotiate the matter. Then the officials of the South Korean delegation apologized to China.[4]
