This bachelor’s-thesis was conducted as a product development task. The purpose was to create a technical manual for short track speed skating competitions in the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) 2021/2022 sports event in Vuokatti, Sotkamo. EYOF is the largest multisport event in Europe for young athletes; its purpose is linked with the Olympic principles, such as international friendship and fair play. The event brings together young elite athletes around Europe to promote the integration of Europe and celebrate sports. The event took place in March 2022. The athletes competed in nine different sports, the short track being one of them. The thesis was commissioned by Kainuun Liikunta (Regional sports association of Kainuu), which also was the main organizer of the event. The purpose of the thesis became evident at first when representatives from the organizing committee of EYOF held a short recruitment event about the event at Kajaani University of Applied Sciences. The possibility for students to be part of the organizing team of short track speed skating at EYOF2021 was introduced at that event. This sport has been relatively unknown in Finland, but from the author’s perspective, it might have potential for growth. The authors as well as the commissioning party Kainuun Liikunta, had no prior experience in organizing short track events. There had not been any organized international-level short track events in Finland before EYOF2021/2022. This meant that the authors and the commission party had to initiate the sport from the beginning to the region of Kainuu, in Vuokatti, where the competitions were held. In the process of creating the manual, the commissioning party accompanied by the authors and took a field trip to the Netherlands to learn from professionals in this sport. After this, Covid-19 struck the world, meaning that there were restrictions set on events all over the world. These restrictions made the organizers of EYOF 2021 to postpone the event twice, first to December 2021 and further on to March 2022. The technical manual (appendix 1) was created to gather and collect information about the sport-specific demands in the facilities, equipment and different personnel roles in the competition. The manual was eventually published in a pdf format and was distributed to the volunteers and the organizing party of the short track competitions of EYOF 2022. The technical manual became useful both in the planning process of the event and during the event.
