Overview
- The IV Youth Olympic Games will run in Dakar, Senegal from October 31 to November 13 and will bring roughly 2,700 athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees plus a refugee team.
- National federations have published final rosters and event calendars, with Peru naming a 15-athlete delegation and flagbearers Natzumi Aquije and Doménico Sotomayor.
- Rugby sevens competition runs November 1–3 and Argentina’s Los Pumitas 7s will compete as the defending champion with Gonzalo Cairo listed on the 12-player roster.
- Mexico begins its participation with Baseball5 matches at Complexe Tour de l’Œuf against teams including Syria and Kenya and those games will stream on the Olympic Channel and the Games’ official YouTube feed.
- Broadcasters have set country-specific windows for viewers, for example DSPORTS 2 will carry exclusive coverage in Peru on DIRECTV and streaming platforms, and organisers note early medal events start on November 1, so time-zone adjustments matter for live viewing.
