IOC postpones 2022 Dakar Youth Olympics to 2026

The Youth Olympic Games in Dakar will be celebrated in 2026 after Senegal and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) “mutually agreed” to postpone the Games from 2022.
The IOC and Senegal understand that this news will be disappointing for many young athletes.
Both parties can only appeal to their understanding. This agreement results from the large scale of the operational challenges which the IOC, the NOCs and the IFs are facing following the postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Earlier, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed to next year.
Now the event will be held from July 23 to August 8, 2021.
