The IOC offers the following Video News Release to all news agencies, broadcasters and online news platforms free of charge. STORY SCRIPT: With exactly one year to go to the start of the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Gangwon 2024, the local Organising Committee (YOGOC) has revealed the official mascot Moongcho as well as the official song and choreography at a series of events in the province. B-girl and YOG medallist Yeri Kim was also named as the latest honorary ambassador for the Games, joining figure skating legend Yuna Kim in the role which will help promote winter sport and Olympic values. Mascot Moongcho represents a snowball, born out of a snowball fight between Soohorang and Bandabi, the mascots of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Full of sportsmanship like its predecessors, Moongcho builds on the legacy of PyeongChang 2018. The mascot wears goggles and a scarf and is waiting for the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 with a pounding heart, just like the athletes.
