500,000 people watching the game, a box office hit. Minister Yoo In-chon said the closing ceremony was held in Gangneung, “We will have created unforgettable memories for the youth.”
The ‘2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games’ (Gangwon 2024), a sports festival for the world’s youth, concludes its 14-day competition with the closing ceremony held at the outdoor stage of Gangneung Olympic Park in Gangwon at 7:30 pm today.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said on the 1st, “The Gangwon 2024 Organizing Committee, Gangwon Province, competition management personnel, and volunteers worked together to do their best to successfully host the competition.”
Gangwon 2024 was held in Gangneung, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon, and Hoengseong in Gangwon-do from the 19th of last month to this day. This is the first Winter Youth Olympics to be held in Asia, and the second Olympics to be held in Gangwon-do following the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. 1,800 athletes from 78 countries around the world participated. 안전 토토사이트
Contrary to expectations before the event, this competition created a box office success. A total of 500,000 people enjoyed the Winter Olympics, a combination of sports and culture. On the 27th and 28th of last month, when figure skating was held, more than 120,000 visitors visited the stadium, showing as much interest as the adult Olympics.
Traditionally popular sports such as short track and speed skating, as well as the somewhat unfamiliar ice hockey sports, were sold out every day and recorded crowds of 10,000 won, expanding the base of winter sports.
At Gangwon 2024, new stars were born to lead Korean winter sports. Joo Jae-hee (short track), Jae-hwan Jae (bobsled), Chae-un Lee (snowboarding), Yun-seung Lee (skiing), and Hyun-gyeom Kim (figure skating) won gold medals. In particular, Lee Yun-seung won two medals (1 gold and 1 silver) in freestyle skiing mogul, an unpopular event in Korea, and Kim Hyun-gyeom became the first Korean figure skating male athlete to win the Youth Olympic Games.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism worked with the Pyeongchang Memorial Foundation to continue the vision and legacy of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. Youth athletes from countries where it is difficult to develop winter sports or participate in winter sports competitions due to the nature of the climate were invited and supported for field training in Gangwon-do. 25 athletes from 9 countries participated in this project.
In addition, the Olympic legacy was inherited by making full use of the competition facilities used in the PyeongChang Games. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced, “We plan to continue to seek ways to utilize the Gangneung Oval, Hockey Center, and Sliding Center operated by Gangwon Province after the fact and support various facility utilization projects that can spread the value of the Olympics.”
Gangwon 2024 succeeded in implementing a cultural Olympics that combined K-culture and sports. At the opening ceremony held on the 19th of last month, the message that ‘each individual contains a huge universe, and we are all precious beings’ was presented on a stage of harmony combining laser art, K-pop, and dance. Moreover, the Metaverse Olympics were also implemented, including the world’s first digital cauldron.
Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon said, “Youth who participated in Gangwon 2024 will have created unforgettable memories by interacting with youth from various countries and races.” He added, “This competition was successfully completed with the support of the people. “We are grateful to all involved, including volunteers and operational staff, who have devoted themselves to the competition.”
