Over 1,000 young athletes aged 15 to 18 will travel to Innsbruck, Austria, to compete in the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) from 13 to 22 January 2012.
Building
on the experience of the first Summer YOG held in Singapore last year,
the event presents the innovative concept of a fully integrated sports
and culture experience for young athletes from around the world who
will compete in 63 medal events in seven Olympic winter sports and 15
disciplines. The participants will also take part in a Culture and
Education Programme focused on themes ranging from Olympism and Olympic
values to skills development.
2012: The year of the first Winter Youth Olympic Games
Welcome to 2012, YOG fans -
it’s now the year of the first Winter Youth Olympic Games! To
celebrate, Innsbruck 2012 welcomed in the New Year in style with the
arrival of the Youth Olympic torch in Vienna and a fantastic street
party.
To discover the sport disciplines in Innsbruck, check out their site.
And with just a couple of days to go until this next chapter in Olympic history begins, we thought it would be cool to look back on where it all started, with the first ever Olympic Winter Games held in 1924 in Chamonix, France.
Amazingly, despite almost 90 years having passed, many of the sports haven’t really changed that much. What do you think? Take a look here:
Austrian Olympic champion Fritz Strobl today unveiled the medals for the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games which will take place in Innsbruck in January 2012. 1,059 young athletes from 67 nations will compete for a total of 372 medals during 9 days of competition from 13 to 22 January. Joining the Salt Lake City 2002 downhill skiing gold medallist for the presentation were sports minister Norbert Darabos, president of the Austrian Olympic Committee Karl Stoss, director-general of the Austrian Mint Gerhard Starsich and Innsbruck 2012 CEO Peter Bayer. “After all these years, Olympic medals are still really special to me – especially when they are gold!” smiled 39-year-old Strobl at the presentation, held at the Austrian Mint in Vienna.
The gold, silver and bronze medals, which will be awarded to the best athletes in each of the 63 Medal Events, are 70mm in diameter and weigh 110g. All of the medals are made of solid bronze, with those awarded to the victors and runners-up plated with gold and silver respectively. “Today’s presentation marks the start of the final countdown to the Games,” commented sports minister Norbert Darabos. “Thanks to the Winter Youth Olympic Games, the sporting world will once again look to Innsbruck in January 2012. We want to offer the athletes aged 15 to 18 perfect venues and a unique atmosphere.”
