OCA OLYMPIC COUNCIL OF ASIA
Mascot, Kangwon 1999

A half-moon black bear cub, which is the symbolic animal of Kangwon Province, was given human features to welcome the 4th Asian Winter Games with open arms and a friendly smile.

To symbolize the "Ever Onward" progress we hope that Asia will make through hosting of the Asian Winter Games, the flame of the torch was substituted with the sun, the symbol of the Asian Games.
