The Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 took place from 19 January to 1 February 2024, with 1,802 athletes from 78 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) taking part in 15 disciplines across 7 sports. Gangwon 2024 drew upon the successful delivery of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, and aimed to continue the vision of bringing sport to a new generation of winter athletes.

Away from the field of play, the education programme used a variety of fun and interactive activities, workshops and team-building exercises to give the participating athletes the opportunity to learn about the Olympic values, explore other cultures, develop the skills to become true ambassadors of their sport, and improve their training methods and performance.
