There are 70 male and 69 female athletes to participate the Changchun Asian Winter Games as well as a number of the team officials and coaches. The total number of the Korea delegation is 290 persons. They will compete in all the competition except the Free Style Skiing. As BAE ChangHwan, leader of the Korean delegation, said, they hope they will keep the good status as they were in Torino and expected to storm up to ten gold medals. He thought the short track speed skaters Jin SunYu and Ahn HyunSoo would take the responsibility to seize the medals for South Korea, but it is not easy to obtain them from China the host country.
