YOG – Host Selection 2022; Interested NOCs (May 2018)
The NOCs of Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia have registered interest in hosting the 2022 Youth Olympic Games.
Press release by the International Olympic Committee:
FOUR AFRICAN NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEES (NOCS) HAVE REGISTERED INTEREST IN HOSTING THE YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES (YOG) 2022 IN AFRICA. THE NOCS WERE REVEALED TODAY BY THE IOC EXECUTIVE BOARD (EB), WHICH WAS REVIEWING THE PROGRESS MADE IN JUST UNDER THREE MONTHS SINCE THE DECISION WAS TAKEN BY THE IOC SESSION IN FEBRUARY TO ACTIVELY TARGET AN AFRICAN NATION TO HOST THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE SUMMER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES.
Following the release of the Youth Olympic Games 2022 Host Selection Process in March, four NOCs have emerged: Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia. This new process for selecting a YOG host aims to simplify, streamline and ensure cost efficiency for the interested NOCs. The initial NOC Dialogue Phase will end in July when the IOC Executive Board will decide which interested parties will be invited to take part in the Candidature Phase, based on the feasibility reports and visits.
Evaluation Commission Chair Ugur Erdener, IOC Member from Turkey, will lead an experienced team of Evaluation Commission members (announced in April) in assisting and guiding the Selection Process to elect the host for 2022.
Following feasibility studies, visits, in-depth discussions and the research/analysis that will be undertaken by the IOC and experts with the interested African NOCs, the IOC Evaluation Commission 2022 will submit its report in September 2018, and the host for the YOG 2022 will be elected at the IOC Session in October 2018 in Buenos Aires.
In the case of the Tunisian NOC, following the recent exclusion of Israeli athletes last month from the Taekwondo World Junior Championship in Tunisia, the IOC will delay further evaluation of the proposal until the NOC can provide sufficient guarantees from government authorities to ensure that all athletes in all sports competitions will be accepted, according to the principles of non-discrimination in the Olympic Charter.

YOG – Buenos Aires 2018; Youth Olympic Torch Tour
Press release by Buenos Aires 2018;
The flame will cover more than 10,000 kilometres and 16 cities, in addition to iconic Argentine geography.
The Buenos Aires 2018 Torch Tour will highlight cultural and geographical diversity while it travels through the northwest, northeast, Cuyo, Pampa, and Patagonia regions.
The Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic flame will travel across Argentina from August to September, taking the Olympic spirit to every corner of the country.
The flame will be lit in a ceremony in Greece to mark the start of the torch relay for the third summer edition of the Youth Olympic Games. During its journey through the South American country the flame will travel through five Argentine regions while lighting up the whole planet.
The Buenos Aires 2018 Torch Tour will highlight cultural and geographical diversity while it travels through the northwest, northeast, Cuyo, Pampa, and Patagonia regions.
The flame will cover more than 10,000 kilometres and 16 cities, in addition to iconic Argentine geography.
In the same spirit, the concept of the Buenos Aires Torch Tour is based on the desire for the Games to be a space for diversity, multiculturalism and the common good.
Three fires emerge from the seed to create the Olympic flame, representing the three Olympic values of respect, friendship and excellence.
The overlap of the three shapes include five tones to reflect the five Argentine regions of the torch relay, the five continents and the five Olympic rings.
The precise dates and details of the Youth Olympic Torch Tour as well as the relay runner selection process will be announced soon.
The Olympic flame dates back to Ancient Greece, where the first Olympic Games were organized. The Ancient Greeks viewed fire as a divine element and flames were kept burning in their main temples. To ensure its purity, the Olympic flame was ignited using the heat from the sun and a special kind of mirror that concentrated the sun’s ray into a single point.
This tradition continues today. The Hellenic Olympic Committee organises a ritual where an actress portraying a high priestess uses the flame to ignite the torch for the first torch bearer.
From Athens to the host city, the Organising Committee oversees the flame, choosing the route and theme to reflect the culture and vision of the host country.
