Original: Youth Olympics in Senegal a chance for Africa to show it can host an Olympic Games
Dakar is hosting the Youth Olympic Games, the first time an Olympic event is being held on African soil. DW reports the tournament is being viewed as a chance for Senegal and the wider continent to demonstrate it has the infrastructure and organisation to stage a full Olympic Games. Africa has never hosted the Olympics, and the performance of the Dakar event is being closely watched as a possible stepping stone toward a future bid.
