The hosts of the next Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will not be announced on Thursday as Gangwon 2024 in South Korea draws close, but it will be revealed no later than early 2025, according to International Olympic Committee President (IOC) Thomas Bach earlier today.
"You can expect their announcement either later this year or at the latest early next year," the IOC chief noted.
"Our commission, which is responsible for this, needs a little bit more time to evaluate different projects and then conclude which would be the most appropriate destination for 2028." he added.
Gangwon 2024, the 4th winter edition of the YOG - and the first outside of Europe after Innsbruck, Lillehammer, and Lausanne - opened on January 19 and concludes on February 1 without a flag handover for the first time in YOG history.
