The French short track speed skating relay team triumphed in the team event, with three members also claiming individual medals. Aurélie Monvoisin earned bronze in the girls’ 1000m race, Yoann Martinez took bronze in the boys’ 1500m, and Tristan Navarro secured silver in the boys’ 1000m race. Their combined efforts in the relay event brought home a well-deserved gold for France.
German ski jumpers Anna Rupprecht and Lena Selbach dominated the girls’ competition, with Rupprecht taking gold and Selbach securing bronze in the individual K64 event. Their impressive performances didn’t stop there, as they helped Germany’s girls’ team win silver and contributed to the mixed team event, where Germany claimed gold.
Anastasiya Merkushyna (UKR) not only captured an individual bronze in the girls’ biathlon 6km sprint, but she also played a crucial role in securing Ukraine’s only gold medal at the 2013 Winter EYOF as part of the biathlon mixed relay team. This victory was a historic moment for Ukraine during the festival.
