Both sides had been unbeaten on the road to the final, but up against a team who won the last two Youth Olympic titles, the Japanese went in as underdogs. In defying the odds they also made history by becoming the first Asian team to win gold in an Olympic ice hockey competition. “I’m so proud and so pleased that this is the outcome of our teamwork,” said Noro Rio, who was assisted by twin sister Riri in scoring her team’s second goal. “My team really wanted to win gold today.” Japan turned the game around in the second period as they posted eight shots on goal while Sweden had none. The line combination of Kamada Minami, Shimomukai Hina, and Ito Makoto formed a particularly potent attacking trio.

On 22 January, the curtain came down on an unforgettable two weeks of youth sports and culture, with a vibrant Closing Ceremony that celebrated the athletes, volunteers and young people from the Canton of Vaud who have made Lausanne 2020 such a spectacular event. Fittingly, the Closing Ceremony took place in the Medal Plaza in the Flon district of Lausanne, which has attracted an average of 2,000 spectators each evening to celebrate the achievements of the young athletes at the medal ceremonies. And just like every other aspect of these YOG, local youth were at the heart of it. The Ceremony began with the traditional Athletes’ Parade, which involved more than 900 athletes and flagbearers from 76 National Olympic Committees (NOCs). It gave the “Game Changers” a final chance to celebrate their achievements here in the Olympic Capital, before a score of talented young local performers took to the stage. Among those starring in the ensuing choreography were 35 children with a disability between the ages of 5 and 22, all from the Vaud region and performing under the guidance of Sport-Up, a Swiss foundation based in Lausanne that promotes inclusion within sport. Their impressive show highlighted the Olympic values and reflected the fact that social inclusion has been a guiding principle of the Lausanne 2020 Organising Committee, which has used the “En Jeux!” festivities as a social development tool for young people throughout the YOG.

Enjoy watching the best moments full of emotions and top performances from the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics Games in Lausanne, Switzerland! #Lausanne2020 Thanks for joining and cheering with us during this amazing event that was all about the Olympic spirit and camaraderie between athletes from all over the world! Enjoy the excitement of both Women's and Men's Freeski and Snowboard Big Air Finals on Day 13 of Lausanne 2020 YOG. The standout skiers and snowboarders of January’s Lausanne 2020 Youth Olympics proved they could hang with anyone at the U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain, California, from January 26 to February 1. Lausanne 2020 was the third iteration of the Winter Youth Olympic Games, which have been held every four years since 2012. The world’s top winter athletes aged 14 to 18 are eligible to participate, and over the last eight years, we’ve watched in real time as the future stars of skiing and snowboarding have shredded and carved their way into the spotlight. Just 12 days after winning gold at the Lausanne 2020 men’s snowboard slopestyle event, American Dusty Henricksen arrived in Mammoth Lakes ready to prove his mettle against veteran riders, too. The Mammoth Lakes native, who turned 17 on Sunday, redefined the term home-field advantage in the men’s slopestyle finals. He earned his first ever World Cup win (and his first World Cup podium finish) on the last run of competition. His winning run featured a cab double 1260 nosegrab followed by a backside triple cork 1440 mute.
