Cha Jun-hwan and Kim Chae-yeon, the two figure skating gold medalists at the recent Asian Winter Games in China, said Tuesday they will embrace an opportunity to entertain their home crowd at an international competition in Seoul this week.

Though the 32-year-old, Beijing Winter Olympics gold medalist was not competing, his presence was still felt. Han served as a guardian of the national flag during the opening ceremony, watched the Chinese team competing at short-track speed skating events, and participated in a range of activities promoting sportsmanship.

In many ways, South Korean figure skater Kim Chae-yeon is no different than many other athletes. She has bouts of self-doubt at times, worrying if she will fall to the ice on her next jump or if she will botch her next step sequence.

Two teenage figure skaters who died in the Washington plane crash that killed 67 people were poignantly remembered this week at the Asian Winter Games in China's Harbin.

HARBIN, Feb12, (Xinhua): Ren Junfei and Xing Jianing secured China's first figure skating medal in the ice dance event at the Harbin Asian Winter Games, while Cidanyuzhen and Buluer led Chinese skiers to a podium sweep in the ski mountaineering mixed relay on Wednesday.

Associated Press photographers captured the most exciting moments of the first six days of the Asian Winter Games, including some gravity-defying moves from ice hockey, figure skating and the Alpine skiing events teams.
