Four sports will make their Youth Olympic Games [YOG] debut at Dakar 2026, including baseball5, skateboarding, surfing, and wushu.
These additions are designed to increase the participation of African youth in sport, and to achieve gender equality in each sport and event for the first time.
The Buenos Aires 2018 YOG achieved gender equality overall, but with varying amounts of men and women in the different events.
Dakar 2026 will feature 35 sports overall with the new additions replacing roller sports and trampoline gymnastics.
Other changes within existing disciplines for the first African YOG see beach wrestling replacing Greco-Roman, and the introduction of beach canoe sprint. Sport climbing will switch from a combined-discipline event to bouldering only, while the cycling format will switch from four team events to individual competitions in BMX freestyle, the road race, and individual time trial.
In the run up to Dakar 2026, we take a closer look at the four sports making their Youth Olympic Games debut. Below, you can get a taste of what is to come in a video created ahead of the original date of the event, 2022, before the pandemic forced it to be postponed.

Angela began her training as a young girl in the Peking Opera together with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. She is a master of Wushu, Hapkido, and Taekwondo. Angela's martial arts prowess and strong personality inspired a generation of martial artists and made her a role model.

The International Wushu Federation (IWUF) was established in 1990 and holds the World Wushu Championships every two years. It is also responsible for efforts to qualify Wushu as an Olympic sport. The IWUF's application for Chinese Martial Arts to be recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was prepared in Hong Kong in November 1998. The IWUF was accepted into membership of the General Assembly for International Sports Federations (GAISF) in 1995, which is the first step. The second step to reach the criteria set by the IOC is to have Wushu represented in a minimum of 73 countries, spanning 4 continents. Currently, the IWUF has more than 100 countries in membership, spanning all continents (Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Oceanic States). Many practitioners and fans of Wushu have high expectations that Wushu will one day soon be accepted as an official Olympic sport. - Allen Tjiong
