It was our pleasure to offer this webinar on clean sport for youth athletes encompassing the anti-doping program at the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024.
This session was led by athletes, for athletes and Athlete Support Personnel. With Gangwon 2024 and the start of a new year just weeks away, we discussed key aspects of anti-doping, so as a future Youth Olympian or a young athlete who aspires to be an Olympian you know what to expect with regards to anti-doping and are prepared, so you can focus on being the best you can be!
Marc Mundell OLY and Randolph Oduber, both ITA Education Ambassadors, along with Clare Egan OLY, WADA Athlete Council Member, provided many practical tips for athletes and Athlete Support Personnel.
