🏅 The Philippines is making history at the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin! Can you imagine athletes from a tropical country competing on ice and snow? ❄️
With 19 amazing athletes, the Philippines is competing in five cool sports: curling, figure skating, alpine skiing, and more. 🥌⛸️⛷️
🌟 Highlight: The men’s curling team pulled off an incredible victory against Team China in the semifinals! They’re guaranteed at least a silver medal! How exciting is that?
Richard Bachmann, the chairman of the Philippine Sports Commission, couldn’t stop praising the top-notch facilities in Harbin. He said they’re some of the best in the world! 🏟️👏
