The Youth Games feature 3,600 athletes aged 14 to 18 from 204 national Olympic committees competing in 26 sports from Aug. 14-26.

IOC president Jacques Rogge said the next Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, will feature higher quality competition.

“Every four years it will go to another city and they will improve the quality of the event,” he said. “By the next Youth Olympic Games, there will be far more media attention.

“We will endeavor to help publicize this event and make it even bigger.” The IOC is debuting several new formats at the Youth Games, including 3-on-3 half-court basketball, a mixed team triathlon relay and mixed swimming relays. Rogge said organizers may introduce some of the new formats at the traditional Olympics.

“We will look at expanding these events in the future,” he said. “I am a fan of mixed events. We are considering adding them to the summer Olympic lineup.” Organizers also emphasized cultural and educational activities at the Youth Olympics, and Rogge said similar programs would not be a part of the 2012 Summer Games in London but may be included at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.

“We are most definitely considering introducing a limited culture and education program into the traditional Olympic Games,” he said. “There's definitely a place for it. It's too late for London but perhaps in Rio.”
