The European Youth Olympic Festival is a multi-sport event designed for the best young athletes aged 14 to 18. Organized under the auspices of the European Olympic Committees, this yearโs event will welcome hundreds of athletes from 48 countries.
Before their departure, the President of the Slovenian Olympic Committee โ Association of Sports Federations, Franjo Bobinac, emphasized the importance of Olympic values. โFriendship, excellence, and respect are the essence of sports. Sports connect us, teach us cooperation, responsibility towards ourselves and others, and respect. At competitions like these, young athletes gain invaluable experience and build friendships. I wish them all to enjoy every momentโboth on and off the field," he said.
The young ambassador for this yearโs Winter and Summer European Youth Olympic Festival is judoka Zarja Tavฤar, who won a bronze medal at the 2017 festival in Gyลr.
