Tunisia at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics
Sporting event delegation
Tunisia competed at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics in Gangwon, South Korea, from January 19 to February 1, 2024. This was Tunisia's debut appearance at the Winter Youth Olympic Games. This will mark the country's first ever participation at a Winter or Winter Youth Olympics.[1][2][3]
Tunisia's team consisted of three bobsledders (one man and two women).[4] Bobsledder Jonathan Lourimi was the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony.[5]
On January 23, bobsledder Jonathan Lourimi earned the silver medal in the men's monobob, becoming the first Tunisian athlete to win a Winter Youth Olympics medal. This was only the second Winter Youth Olympics medal by a North African nation, after Morocco's historic gold in 2012.[6][7]
