Asian Winter Games appearances

The Philippines are competing in the 2025 Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China, from 7 to 14 February.[1][2] The delegation is led by Richard Lim.[3] The team is supposed to consist of 20 athletes competing in six sports, but the sole snowboarder got injured reducing the delegation to 19 athletes and five sports.[4] However the curlers have began playing on 4 February ahead of the opening ceremony on 7 February.[5] It is among the tropical nations competing.[6]

Short track speed skater Peter Groseclose and curler Kathleen Dubberstein were the country's flagbearers for the opening ceremony.[7][8]
