Template:2024 Winter Youth Olympics

The 2024 Winter Youth Olympics, officially known as the IV Winter Youth Olympic Games (Template:Lang-fr;[1] Template:Lang-ko) and commonly known as Gangwon 2024, will be the fourth edition of the Winter Youth Olympics, an international sports, education and cultural festival for teenagers, to be held between 19 January and 2 February 2024 in Gangwon, South Korea. The host city was announced at the 135th IOC Session on 10 January 2020 at the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne, Switzerland during the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. This is the first Olympic event with the new bidding process. This will also be the first Winter Youth Olympic Games to be held outside of Europe.

If the circumstances are allowed, the city of Wonsan, North Korea will be involved, and could be the host of some alpine events.[5][6]

The Alpensia Sports Park in Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang, will be the main focus of the games, like in 2018.
