In Alpine skiing disciplines, slalom and giant slalom, Montenegro will be represented by Mladen Minić from Kolašin and Jakša Kosić from Nikšić, and in Nordic cross country skiing on 5 and 10 thousand meters by, Milka Bulatović from Kolašin. It is also sure that on the forthcoming winter EYOF Montenegro will have representatives in figure skating – one couple and one skater. Since all talented Montenegrin skaters live and train abroad, it is still not certain who will go to Poland. Montenegrin Olympic Committee has promised all necessary support to Montenegrin participants at this competition, which is similar to European Youth Olympic Games. Besides, we remind that first participation of Montenegro at some Olympic event was summer EYOF held in 2007. in Belgrade. Winter Youth Olympic Festival is organised every two years since 1993.
