Start now, Winter YOG commences in Olympic Capital of Lausanne

Following its four-month journey across Switzerland, the Olympic flame was passed on to Gina Zehnder. The 14-year-old figure skater ignited the cauldron inside the venue.

As the Lausanne 2020 motto of "Start now" put it, many future Olympians may find their start of career in the Olympic Capital.

"Now it's the time for you to start with your Games. So, start now," said Faivre.
