Curtains are going down on the 9th Asian Winter Games in the Chinese city of Harbin tonight. Team Korea is set to finish the games with one of its best performances ever. Our Choi Soo-hyung has the latest.

On the last day of the 2025 Winter Asiad in Harbin Team Korea added more medals. In the women's curling event, South Korea won the gold medal facing off against China. South Korea's team of Gim Eun-ji, Kim Min-ji, Kim Su-ji, Seol Ye-eun, and Seol Ye-ji beat China 7 to 2.

The men's team had to make do with silver, after losing to the Philippines in the final 3 to 5. This is the Philippines' first-ever medal at a Winter Asian Games. The South Korean men's ice hockey team beat China to win the bronze medal. With a 5 to 2 victory, Team Korea finishes on the podium for the fourth consecutive time, since the 2007 Changchun Games. Although they lost to Japan in a shootout during the semifinals, they earned a come-from-behind win against China in the bronze medal match.

Meanwhile, the women's team lost to Kazakhstan and finished in fourth place. On Thursday two figure skaters made history, winning gold medals in both the men's and women's figure skating single event. Male figure skater Cha Jun-hwan and female figure skater Kim Chae-yeon ranked second after the short program.

However, both skaters stood on the top podium following flawless free skating programs. Cha finished with a final tally of 281-point-6-9 points while Kim scored 219-point-4-4 points overall, a personal best, beating three-time world champion Kaori Sakamoto of Japan. In summary South Korea finished the Winter Asian Games this year with 16 gold medals, 15 silver, and 14 bronze, for second place behind China in the rankings.

After surpassing Team Korea's all-time best gold medal tally it secured a total of 45 medals. The 9th edition of the Winter Asian Games in Harbin ends on Friday with the closing ceremony at 9 PM Korean time. Choi Soo-hyung, Arirang News.
