About 150 people, including Second Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Jang Mi-ran, Sports Council President Lee Ki-heung, city/provincial sports council presidents, sports organization executives for each sport, coaches, and athletes, will attend the ceremony. 카지노사이트랭크
Gangwon 2024 is the 4th Winter Youth Olympics and the first Winter Youth Olympics held in Asia.
It is especially meaningful in that it is the second Olympic stage held in Gangwon-do, making full use of the competition facilities of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. About 2,950 athletes from over 80 countries will participate in Gangwon 2024, which will be held in four cities and counties including Gangneung, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon, and Hoengseong in Gangwon-do from the 19th to February 1.
As it is a competition in which youth athletes (born between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2009) participate, it is more meaningful as a sports festival where youth from all over the world gather and interact rather than competing for medals, and rankings by country are not compiled.
The Korean team is comprised of 153 athletes and coaches, the largest group in the history of the Winter Youth Olympics, and is expected to win medals in ice skating, Korea's traditional strong sport, as well as snowboarding and skeleton, which are showing excellent performance recently.
Vice Minister Jang Mi-ran said, “I expect that our players will be able to demonstrate even greater skills. “Through the competition, I hope to learn the values of solidarity and empathy, interact with youth from various countries and races, and create unforgettable memories,” he said. 고스톱
