The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Executive Board unanimously welcomed the idea of establishing a Youth Olympic Games at its meting in Beijing last week. The idea was conceived by IOC President Rogge, the aim being to address the decline in the relevance of sport amongst the younger generation. ...The concept will be presented for final approval by the IOC Session in Guatemala City in July, so that a debut of the summer edition can take place in 2010. The first winter edition will be planned for 2012. Like the Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games would alternate every four years.
The FIS has already voiced its supports for the idea of a Winter Youth Games.
