There has been a European Youth Winter Olympic festival every 2 years since 2005. Team GB has sent a team to every one in about 5 events or so. The Alpine skiers always sent about 6 to compete.
It was held every 2 years as the age span was 15-18 so some could miss out if it was every 4 years. I don't know if the full blown Youth Olympics is every 4 years as there is also an age span for these too?
It's always good to give our younger athletes good experience of top level international competitions too.
They have been named as targets for the GB Junior team to aim for.
