In the preliminary round, they defeated the Armenian SSR 6-3, but lost to the Russian SFSR 14-1 and the Ukrainian SSR 13-1. In the placement round for 7th-12th place, the Kyrgyz team recorded another win over the Armenians, 5-0, but lost the other four games.[3] Kyrgyzstan returned to international play in 2011 where they competed in the Premier Division of the 2011 Asian Winter Games. In the first game of the tournament Kyrgyzstan recorded their first ever win, defeating Thailand 15-4.[3] Kyrgyzstan went on to win the Premier Division after winning all six of their games and finishing on top of the table.[4]
