Lausanne to stage 2020 Youth Olympics
Print Edition
LAUSANNE, the Swiss city where the International Olympic Committee is based, was yesterday chosen as the host of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.
Lausanne won a ballot of IOC members in Kuala Lumpur, beating the only other candidate, the Romanian city of Brasov, which hosted the 2013 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival.
The Youth Olympics are restricted to athletes aged between 14-18, and 2020 will be the third edition of the event designed to encourage young people to stay in sport.
The first Games were held in Innsbruck, Austria in 2012, while Lillehammer, Norway will host the second edition next year.
As part of their proposal, Lausanne’s bidders said they planned to stage some events in neighboring France.
