About Gangwon 2024 Organising Committee

 

The Organising Committee of the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 has been established with the purpose of effectively preparing for and operating the fourth Winter Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon Province in 2024. They aim to bring people together through the unifying nature of sport, continue to develop the country's passion for winter sports and promote Olympic values locally, nationally and around the world.

In February 2018, the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 inspired people across the globe. A total of 195,051 hours of PyeongChang 2018 have been transferred to Gangwon 2024.

Out of the 85 members of the YOGOC, a total of 33 people (39%) has experienced PyeongChang 2018. Gangwon 2024 holds great significance in that it continues and utilises the legacy of PyeongChang 2018 by making the most use of human resources in terms of experience and know-how as well as the top class facilities from PyeongChang 2018.
