You forgot to mention that "try to qualify" in this particular case meant sharing a video on tiktok.

An innovative format. Literally anyone could qualify. People could also view all qualification entries and choose their favorites (not that it had much weight on selection, but it got the individual athletes more attention). 

 

Also, it wasn’t TikTok. It was a platform created by the WDSF.

Canoe, golf, field hockey, karate, modern pentathlon, shooting, sport climbing, surfing, tennis and weightlifting have essentially been dropped from the 2026 Youth Olympic program.

Wait till you hear what they will do with these sports   Sports on the engagement program (so the dropped sports) will also have the opportunity to establish a significant presence at the YO

So if Dakar was moved 4 years, I would suspect the plan is still to have 2022 or even 2023 Youth Olympics. 10 bucks it will be either Qatar or China hosting the event 

Let’s not forget about Colombia either.

I'll never understand how YOG ever gets any following anyway. IOC is basically just milking their name and status to sell more of their brand.

 

Youth Olympic Games are neither a proper Olympic nor youth event.

Pretty much this. It's unfortunate that the 2022 edition is probably cancelled, but let's not kid ourselves of how significant this is.

 

Everything was perfectly normal when there were no YOG at all. It's not the be all, end all for these kids. 

 

I don't think competing at the YOG will decide if these athletes will have a sporting career or not in the future. It's just a nice experience for them and something cool to say in school. It's a junior event after all. 

 

Now, if we were talking about Tokyo, then that would be magnitude 9 catastrophe.

I'm very, very angry now. No Junior Worlds in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics in 2021, no YOG in 2022. I've never really been a huge fan of the Olympics (it's not a secret I only care about artistic and rhythmic gymnastics), but I enjoy the YOG for what is is. Terrible decision.

And heavyweight weightlifting if Russia is not banned :old:

Youth Olympic Games are neither a proper Olympic nor youth event.

It's a multi-sports event that's global instead of regional (I know not all the best youths in the world compete), and it does showcase a lot of athletes who grow up to become pretty big. And it's live sports if watching it is possible, I'm not gonna pass up that opportunity easily.

Was said selection based on the skill or on 'how cool' it looked? :p

It was based on skill. There was criteria that the judges were looking for. They had a panel of past elite b-boys/girls whose job was to judge every entry. I think it took them a whole month or something.

Yeah sorry, we don't have a month to judge events during the Olympics. Too bad! :p

my friends, really...

I just can't understand (and never I'll do it) how a bunch of kids having seizures like epileptics can be put into the Olympic program...:nopompom: :facepalm:

Every time this comes up I want to correct someone and say "Hold on, it's not on the real Olympic program yet". Until I realize it is :rofl:

      Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By LastPlaceViking · Posted

      Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
