I also saw that this is upcoming as well

European Youth Olympic Games - in  Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Olympic host city Sarajevo & East Sarajevo.

9 to 16 February 2019

 

I would assume the better athletes will attend the two IBU Junior/Youth events in Sweden and Norway during the Winter University Games, but the European Youth Olympic Games has had some pretty successful people compete.

I don’t know. We’ll see. The Universiade is for college students.

Students must also be 18-25 years old (in the year of the event)...so in this case it's for students born in 1994-2001.

I guess they lowered the age level because of all those almost 30 year old Kazakhstani student-athletes.

The answer to the question "Will Brazil compete in the Winter Universiade 2019?" has been changing a bit over the past half year. In the summer it was definitely, 'yes', which changed to 'no' because of financial problems. That became 'yes' and 'no', followed by a 'maybe' and now it's final: no.

So I guess this thread will have nowhere near 55 pages like 2017 edition had...

It's a shame really, January is barely even over and the athlete I'd obviously support most has already ended her season. Oh well, I'm gonna watch the events anyway
