The International Olympic Committee members at the 119th IOC session in Guatemala City approved the creation of a youth version of the Olympic Games and the 1st edition of Summer Youth Olympic Games was organized in Singapore in 2010. Since then the YOG has already become a rather prestigious and prominent Youth Forum worldwide.

2014 Youth Olympic Games program envisages 30 sports and the young athletes across the world have excellent opportunity to show their skills and start their pursuit to the highest summits in sport.
