New Zealand's first athletes selected to the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Team will be part of this exciting new event which will see over 1,000 of the world's best 14-18 year olds contest all winter Olympic sports.
"The Winter Youth Olympics will provide a valuable pathway for young athletes and I'm sure it will accelerate the development of everyone in the lead up to future Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018. I know former winter athletes would have got a lot out of an event like this if it was around when they were striving towards Olympic success."
