yoshi Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Pretty odd. I take it it's a YOG-only thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandrosis Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think it's just because countries don't have enough athletes at the level for certain sports like fencing to create whole teams, so they team up with other nations in the area to create one.

AlexDS69 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The Games of Nanjing 2014 are officially done and dusted. Next stop for the Youth Olympic Games - Lillehammer 2016, followed by Buenos Aires 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotguy Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Was the BA 2018 handover segment any good? How did they extinguish the flame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Was the BA 2018 handover segment any good? How did they extinguish the flame? For your first question, check the last page of BA 2018 thread. For the second question, some kids took a selfie with the torch as background (?) and then they just turned it off while playing sad violin music.

A-Money1983 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I really didn't understand the negative comments towards the YOG. It's a harmless preview to the SOG six years in advance, and it brings little-to-no-burden to the host city. It's also something to watch in the middle of the "Olympic Desert". Just my .02....
