With the highly-anticipated continental sports gala set to celebrate its official opening with a grand ceremony on Friday, Winter Asiad — the official English publication of the 9th Asian Winter Games — was launched on Wednesday.

Designed and published by China Daily, Winter Asiad features competition highlights, touching stories from on and off the field, and a behind-the-scenes look at the efforts of the organizing committee to deliver a spectacular tournament.

China Daily has been the designer and publisher of the official English journals of many major international sports events, including the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, as well as multiple Asian Games.
