Having made a couple of posts here on the coming Youth Olympic Games which will be held this month, came to know about this today. The first game was actually held in Moscow, the name has since changed, but are we first? I don't think so.. everyone was given the idea of: "We are hosting the first ever Youth Olympic Games"...wow!
The 1998 World Youth Games was the first international multi-sport event of its kind. More than 7,500 young athletes representing 140 countries of the world participated in this event. Because the World Youth Games was under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), it is also known as the first Youth Olympic Games. It took place in Moscow, Russia from July 11 to 19, 1998.
