The fifth edition of the Khelo India Winter Games is currently underway at the Leh Ice Skating Rink, and the local crowd has been turning up in large numbers despite the very chilly weather in the area.

Sports like ice hockey and ice skating are in progress at the venue. Medals have already started coming in for ice skating, with Telangana currently leading the medal tally.

However, the real attraction for the people remains the sport of ice hockey, which has deep roots in Ladakh and has always been a crowd favorite.

The scenes are no different at this year’s games. As the competition progresses toward its final days, the stadium is filling to capacity, with the players enjoying full support despite temperatures dropping to -20 degrees Celsius.

Here’s how the crowd cheered loudly during one of the league matches at the Winter Games:
