23 January 2024 – Continuing a legacy of innovation and precision, Worldwide Olympic Partner OMEGA is bringing its most advanced technology to the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024. This includes the reliable Scan’O’Vision MYRIA photo finish camera, which can take 10,000 digital images per second on the finish line of races, along with a full range of vital equipment such as scoreboards, starting gates, electronic starting pistols, photoelectric cells and much more.

For the seventh time in sporting history, OMEGA is fulfilling its role as Official Timekeeper of the Youth Olympic Games. More than 1,800 young athletes have arrived at Gangwon 2024 to compete in 15 disciplines across 7 sports, and the Swiss watchmaker will be there to time every second.

OMEGA is already familiar with many of the venues at Gangwon 2024, as they were also used for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 – where OMEGA also served as the Official Timekeeper.

Gangwon 2024 marks the latest milestone in OMEGA’s sporting journey. Since 1932, the brand has been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games on 30 occasions, and will continue in the position until at least 2032, marking a full 100 years. Additionally, OMEGA has served in the same role at all six of the previous Youth Olympic Games, which began in Singapore in 2010.

This year marks the fourth edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games – the first to be held in Asia. The elite competition is a perfect stage for the stars of tomorrow to compete together and set their careers on the path to victory. The occasion also includes a series of educational activities, workshops and team-building exercises. An ideal environment to support future growth of these young athletes.
