Senegal Youth Olympics seen as Africa's test case for hosting a full Games
Original: Youth Olympics in Senegal a chance for Africa to show it can host an Olympic Games
Senegal is hosting the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, the first time an Olympic event is held on African soil. Commentators describe it as a chance for the continent to prove it can stage a full Olympic Games, with attention on infrastructure, organisation and what it could mean for a future African bid.
Why now: Africa has never hosted the Olympics, and the Dakar Youth Games are the continent's first Olympic event, making it a test of hosting capability.
