17th Asian Games, Incheon (South Korea) 2014
Youth Olympic Games
The Youth Olympic Games are an elite
sporting event for young people from all over the world. An event
distinct from other youth sports events, as they also integrate a unique
Culture and Education Programme (CEP), based around five main themes:
Olympism, Social Responsibility, Skills Development, Expression and
Well-being and Healthy Lifestyles.
The
Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together over 3,500 talented young
athletes aged from 15 to 18 from around the world for a 12-day period
and feature 28 sports on the summer programme, including Jumping.
Just
like the Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games are held every four
years. The first summer edition was held in Singapore from 14 to 26
August 2010 and the next summer edition will be held in Nanjing, China,
from 16-28 August 2014.
