The Youth Winter Olympic Games is currently underway in Lausanne, Switzerland.

This is only the third edition of the competition and the hope is that it will spur on the next generation of talent to compete at a Winter Olympic Games in the future.

Just as it spurred on Moroccan skiier Adam Lamhamedi, who was victorious in the boys' Super G event at the inaugural Winter Youth Olympics in 2012 in Innsbruck, Austria.

In doing so, he became the first African to win a gold medal at a Winter Olympic Games of any type and went on to represent Morocco at the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympic Games - as he's been telling Sportsworld's Lee James.
