and many spectators visited ice hockey, curling, ski jumping, and alpine skiing competitions despite the cold weather,

President Kim said, “Based on the legacy of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics,
we did not build a single competition facility and 100% recycled existing facilities,” adding,
“The organizing committee spent 3.5% of the budget (KRW 2.789 trillion) for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.”
“The competition was held with a budget of only 96.7 billion won,” he said.
At Gangwon 2024, 1,800 athletes from 78 countries around the world competed in 7 games, 15 events, and 81 specific events.
In particular, the organizing committee explained that it has become a truly global sporting event in name and reality as athletes from countries on the African continent such as Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa,
as well as countries in the Middle East such as Iran, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, which is at war, and the Philippines,
where it does not snow, are participating.
The Gangwon 2024 Organizing Committee evaluated that 1,900 security, police, and fire personnel supported the event to ensure a safe event,
and that 1,984 volunteers who helped participants in various places,
including the stadium and athletes’ village, were the unsung contributors.
Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC),
especially thanked the volunteers, saying, “Your endless energy and passion,
your smiles and kindness warmed my heart,” adding,
“The athletes and the Olympic family felt all of this together while staying in Gangwon Province.”
“We would like to express our gratitude to the volunteers who made us special during this time.”
The Gangwon 2024 Organizing Committee said that the Youth Winter Olympics, the first to be held on the Asian continent,
were run in keeping with the name of the Cultural Olympics,
and that Korea became the country to successfully host the Youth Olympics following the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
