Lausanne 2020: Future Team GB stars set for Winter Youth Olympics

The largest-ever British Winter Youth Olympic squad will begin their quest for medals in Lausanne on Thursday.
The 28-strong team will be competing in 11 of the 16 sporting disciplines across 13 days of competition in what is the third edition of the Games.
The previous edition – Lillehammer 2016 – saw the emergence of USA freestyle snowboarder Chloe Kim.
She claimed two Youth Olympic titles before landing senior success with halfpipe gold at Pyeongchang 2018.
Britain’s Mica McNeill also competed in South Korea, six years after claiming bobsleigh silver at the inaugural Innsbruck 2012 Games, while partner Jazmin Sawyers moved back to athletics and participated in long jump at Rio 2016.
Taekwondo fighter Jade Jones, diver Tom Daley, swimmer Duncan Scott and gymnast Sam Oldham all competed at summer Youth Olympics before going on to win senior Olympic medals.
BBC Sport takes a look at some of the ones to watch in Switzerland.
