EupenM 149 Posted July 15, 2020 #51 Share Posted July 15, 2020 OMG!What's about the youths who aimed to compete in this games?! I think, the IOC will not give them the possibility to compete in 2026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, the IOC will not give them the possibility to compete in 2026. Oh, it’s an absolute mess clearly. To be honest, I was certain Senegal would be able to host in 2022. I have been impressed with the last few African multi-sports games. I thought the continent could get this done. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I think, the IOC will not give them the possibility to compete in 2026. It was already extremely unfair that this event was only every four years. The only way to make an event for 14-18 year olds “fair” is to hold it anualy or every two years at least. EupenM and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,095 Posted July 15, 2020 #55 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Don’t let me get on my anti-YOG soap box because if I do I won’t stop complaining for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted July 15, 2020 #56 Share Posted July 15, 2020 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.

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted July 15, 2020 #57 Share Posted July 15, 2020 If the IOC was smart about this, they’d immediately be asking Cali, Barranquilla, or Medellin to host. Colombia is the China of Pan America right now. They can’t get enough of these events. They have modern venues that are the current size for the Games. I’d bet they’d be very happy to host, even on short notice. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
