About
The 9th Winter European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) was held in the Śląsk-Beskidy region of Poland from 15-20 February 2009, with Szczyrk serving as the main host town. Ireland's delegation was led by Snowsports Ireland and competed in alpine skiing events. The strongest Irish performances came in alpine skiing. Simon Lyons finished 42nd in the boys' slalom, while Lisa McShera, Ireland's sole female skier, finished 67th in the girls' slalom. Other members of the Irish team gained valuable racing experience against large and highly competitive international fields.
