Intro:

Super-G Olympic champion Kjetil Jansrud and 2010 Olympic downhill champion Lindsay Vonn talk about the importance of education in the Youth Olympics.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kjetil Jansrud, Super-G Olympic champion and Winter Youth Olympic Games ambassador:

"For me, it's important to support the Youth Olympic Games not just because it's the Youth Olympic Games but a lot more because of the work being done off the venues. I think educating young athletes about respect for the sport and respect for other competitors and also the anti-doping work is going to be very important in the years to come. From my point of view when you look at sports, there are younger and younger professionals every year, almost down to people now 12, 13, 14 years of age are making a lot of money without getting the necessary education of how to actually be a good athlete so the youth Olympic programme is going to help them a lot and its going to be even more important than the competing."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Lindsey Vonn, 2010 Olympic downhill champion (Vail, Colorado, USA - recent):
"Well, the Youth Olympic Games are not just about the competition. It's about learning about culture, the experience of being a part of the Olympic Movement and there's a lot to be learned from a lot of different aspects so they should look forward to growing as a human being and enjoying the competition as well."
