Senegal hosts the first Youth Olympic Games in Africa
Dakar and its suburbs are hosting the first Youth Olympic Games on the African continent: around 2,700 athletes aged 15–17 from various countries, 25 sports and 153 events. The Games are being held for the first time with full gender parity and with a refugee team, but are accompanied by criticism over LGBT laws and questions about their cost.
