AustralianFan Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Live Chat Gangwon 2024 Opening Ceremony 4th Winter Youth Olympic Games The Olympic family returns to South Korea on 19 January to celebrate the Opening Ceremony of the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games. Where: Gangneung Oval and PyeongChang Dome When: 19:45 (7:45 pm) KST Friday, 29 January 2024 To Watch: Login in to Gangwon 2024 on Olympics.com Download the Olympics App: “Olympics: Live Sports & News” It may also be livestreamed (?) on IOC MediaYouTube. Opening Ceremony Director: Yan Jung-ung Opening Ceremony concept The Opening Ceremony of Gangwon 2024, set to take place simultaneously in the Gangneung Oval and PyeongChang Dome, will revolve around the theme of “The Universe”. The cosmos theme symbolises the infinite possibilities for youth, from the imaginative “ice planet” playground to the gravity-defying freedom of outer space. The young people taking part in the ceremony will metaphorically “grow up” as they explore the shining stars and microcosm within themselves, guided by the slogan “Grow Together, Shine Forever”. The ceremony’s heroine, Wuri, will embark on a journey into the realm of the imagination, rediscovering her long-forgotten dream and creating her own universe. K-pop at the heart of the celebration A diverse line-up of artists, dancers and singers will celebrate Korean culture during the ceremony. The main stage at the Gangneung Oval will feature newly formed boy band LUN8 and girl band Triple S. Renowned Korean rappers and hip-hop award winners Ash Island and Changmo, traditional Korean band Lennalchi, and dance crew Ambiguous Dance Company, known for merging hip-hop and classical dance, will also take to the main stage. Meanwhile, at the PyeongChang Dome, there will beperformances by Korean singer Taeyeon, Korean rappers Hwasa and BewhY, 1 Million Dance Studio, and Korean-based Filipino boy band Hori7on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVic Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Hard to believe it's 4 years since Lausanne 2020 just before COVID hit and disrupted the next two normal Olympics in Tokyo and Beijing. We were lucky to get through to the 2020 W YOG. Will be looking forward to this. Brings me back memories to PyeongChang 2018 which seems like an eternity six long years ago. Let the YOG begin! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Lausanne 2020 seems just like yesterday. You’re right, how on earth Lausanne 2020 even took place is a miracle with the dark cloud of Covid advancing. And now, look at Switzerland, they’re on a priveliged pathway to be preferred host of the full Olympic Winter Games in 2038. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PikyoK Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I might be a bit late to the live chat so I may start the ceremony from the beginning instead of following it live with everyone else. I'll keep you updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikyoK Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Just realised something. For Australian viewers, you have a choice of watching the Youtube Live Stream from the Official Olympics channel OR Watch the ceremony on 9Go (Channel 93) with coverage starting from 9:55pm AEDT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
