The International Olympic Committee has removed pair skating from the program of the 2028 Winter Youth Olympics, while adding new disciplines such as synchronized skating.
In total, 15 disciplines have been excluded from the program and eight new ones added, including synchronized skating.
“Eight events are making their debut on the Winter YOG programme to further boost appeal and youth engagement, including synchronised skating, mixed singles luge, moguls, and rail events for freestyle skiing and snowboarding, while 15 events from Gangwon will no longer be on the programme.”
“This programme represents an important step forward for the Winter YOG,” said Karl Stoss, IOC Member and Chair of the Olympic Programme Commission. “It reflects a clear commitment to sustainability, innovation and youth-focused sports formats. Most importantly, it ensures that Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 will offer young athletes a world-class experience aligned with their development needs and the facilities of the host region.”
The 2028 Youth Olympic Games will be held in the Dolomiti Valtellina region of Italy.
