Summer Youth Olympic Games 2026

Without getting super technical and specific, and using the 2020 Winter YOG as an example. Here we go.

 

If you look up the Lausanne2020 schedule (on Wikipedia, or the website) something should stand out quickly. The games last 14 days, and sports only go for one week. So essentially half the sports are happening in week 1 and half in week 2 (expect for one or two that span the whole schedule). The athletes stay in the village the week their sport takes place. One day they move out, and the next “wave” moves in (I believe it’s a Sunday because there’s only like 1-3 events that day or something). So essentially the village can be smaller (saving the organizers money) and sports can have more athletes. In this edition countries could have qualified up to 3 Alpine skiers for example. In the last edition only 3-5 countries got 2 skiers and everyone else got one (and some countries got none). This system is new to IOC events, but many other games already use variants of this system. It allows them to increase participation, cut costs, and have a more sustainable business model.

Looks like a good system but needs modification. 

 

Imagine Dakar having this system. Only 170 nations or so  will have their flagbearers at both ceremonies  .

YOG ceremonies would be fine without flagbearers to be honest. You barely see them currently anyways. Plus every nation is allowed a swimmer and track/field athlete. Just put those two sports on separate weeks and you’re good :yes.

 

That’s why there wasn’t flagbearers for many countries at the 2017 World Games if people remember that ceremony.

Baseball5 is a complete shock. I also have no clue why Wushu would requested.

We all new Senegal wasn't ready.....

 

Why didn't award the games to other nation and had them host in 2026 from the beginning??? Thomas Bach wanted the "Olympics hosted in Africa" before it was realistic. And that's the price to pay.

 

Cause I don't buy that cheap excuse they are putting. They should let other country jump and host the 2022 ones,....

IOC release says "excellent preparations".. we all know this was going to be a disaster and tbh I don't think 4 additional years will be enough

    • Mets lost 9 games in a row. That's their longest losing streak in April since 1963 (their second season in existance).
    • Van Mathias posted a 58.18 100m breaststroke time at the Bergen Swim Festival. Now the #5 performer all time.
    • In Italy, it's generally impossible to watch it anywhere except on pay TV on our federation's website, which is of terrible quality: there's no clock, only the score. The 2026 Olympics were an exception, with women's hockey being on free-to-air television. Most people in southern Italy probably don't even know that women's hockey exists
    • In 2024, Italy beat Slovakia 3-2 at the World Champ Division I B, but objectively, we were two level under you in that time and now we're at a similar level. Italy won here surprisingly easily – it was even 6-2 on begining of 3 period, but Slovakia showed strength in the matches against Hungary and Norway. On paper, I think Hungary is still the best here, so you have a good chance against France – even a 2-point win is probably enough for you. Regarding Italy, in 2022/23, we even lost to Poland and Slovenia, so we've made significant progress. Now it's crucial to continue this project and avoid something like China. Italy always needs support from North America, but we also have good local players – for example, our leading striker: Mathilde Fantin, is a born in Italy- Cuneo.
    • Thanks. We´ll see. If it has to happen it will. It it does not have to happen yet, it will not... yet.   Our woman´s program is working a couple of years now with a group of girls since their early teenage years, through Youth Winter Olympics and EYOFs and several team meetings, the core of the group is still around late teen and early twentys. Also it is obviously build around Nela Lopušanová who is still 18 years old.   The goal was set for the Olympics, maybe 2030 will be too soon but the program is showing every year bigger results and is still not over, we hopw by 2034 being a competitive team at the Olympics.   For the worlds we also are trying step by step, so even if not tomorrow this group of girls will certainly qualify to the elite in the upcoming time and the goal is obviously to be able to stay there as well once our time will arrive.    
    • Italy's expectations were probably too high – we were newcomers here. Our performance at the Olympics was up our capabilities, in my opinion. Now it's crucial to continue this project and hire a good coach who will work seriously for all time, not just for the Olympics, like Bouchard.

    • I lost faith in Ceccon at 200 meters - either he starts too hard or too slow, etc. It's a lost case.
