Lausanne 2020 President Virginie Faivre believes last year s Winter Youth Olympic Games exceeded the expectations of the Organising Committee.
Faivre admitted organisers were lucky that they were able to host the event prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which came shortly after the conclusion of the Youth Olympics, calling the thought of that happening today surreal .
She also said the first evening at the medal ceremony made her confident that the Games would be a success, having awarded medals to two Swiss girls from her local region. I think that s when I realised that the population wanted to take part in these Games - I think it even exceeded our expectations, said Faivre.
