Teenaged team of 72 among 4,000 athletes at new-look event in Buenos Aires
Nerve-wracking. Honoured. Stressful. Intimidating. Exciting.
Those are the words of two Canadian athletes, and undoubtedly shared by many of their 70 teammates, to describe the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), which start Saturday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The third YOG, which run through Oct. 18, bring together 4,000 talented athletes aged 15 to 18 from 206 countries competing in 241 events across 32 sports.
