Competitions for Teens. The Youth Olympic Games are for athletes aged 15 to 18 years old, making it the perfect stage for talented young people to showcase their skills on a global stage.

Worldwide Event. The International Olympic Committee organizes the Youth Olympic Games, which means countries from all over the world send their best young athletes to compete together.

Summer and Winter. The Youth Olympic Games happen every four years, just like regular Olympics, with separate summer and winter events held in different years.

Newest Olympic Dream. The very first Summer Youth Olympic Games took place in Singapore in 2010, followed by the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Austria in 2012.

Training Ground. These Games give young athletes a chance to compete at the highest level before they move on to competing in regular Olympic Games as adults.
