The Khelo India Winter Games 2024 is being conducted in two phases. The first, from February 2 to 6, is being held in Leh, Ladakh while the second is scheduled from February 21 to 25, in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir.
KIWG 2024 is the fourth edition of the grassroots-level multi-sport competition under the aegis of the Indian government’s Khelo India programme. Started in 2020, KIWG seeks to promote winter sports in the country and has been met with widespread enthusiasm over the years.
All three previous editions, in 2020, 2021 and 2023, were hosted and won by Jammu and Kashmir. The Union Territory of Ladakh is making its debut as a host this year.
In the Ladakh leg of the competition, a total of 344 athletes, representing 15 states and Union Territories and two public institutions will compete for medals in two sports - ice hockey and speed skating.
The NDS Sports Stadium, Gupuks Pond and Ladakh Scout Regimental Centre (LSRC) rink are hosting the events.
The remaining sports - ski mountaineering, alpine skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing and gandola - are being held in Gulmarg, where 361 more athletes will compete.
The Khelo India Winter Games operates in a team championship format, wherein the medals earned by individual athletes or teams contribute to the overall medals tally of their respective state, Union Territory (UT) or institutions. Upon the event's conclusion, the team securing the highest count of gold medals is declared the winner.
Co-hosts Jammu and Kashmir, who topped the Khelo India Winter Games 2023 medal table with 26 gold medals, 25 silver and 25 bronze, are the reigning KIWG champions.
Services, Karnataka and Maharashtra finished runner-ups in the last three editions, respectively.
