  "abstract": "Safeguarding is a foundational component of athlete health, not an adjunct. This was a key finding of the 2024 Gangwon Youth Olympic Games (YOG) study by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).1 Rooted in athlete voices, the study provides compelling evidence that young athletes directly associate safe environments with health and well-being and identify interpersonal violence (IV) as indicative of harmful, unhealthy sporting contexts.",
