Lausanne 2020 will be the first gender-equal Winter YOG, bringing together 1,880 athletes - 940 male and 940 female - from over 70 nations, who will compete for medals in eight sports, and the first binational Winter YOG, with events taking place in three cantons of Switzerland and a region in neighbouring France, making the most of regional expertise and maximising the use of existing venues.
