Youth Olympic Games

The Youth Olympic Games are an elite sporting event for young people from all over the world. An event distinct from other youth sports events, as they also integrate a unique Culture and Education Programme (CEP).

The Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together over 3,500 talented young athletes aged from 15 to 17 from around the world, featuring a variety of sports on the summer programme, including Jumping for Equestrian.

Just like the Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games are held every four years.

The 2022 edition was unfortunately postponed but in order to avoid young athletes being negatively impacted by the absence of the Youth Olympic Games that year, the FEI organised an alternative event: the FEI Youth Equestrian Games 2022 (YEG). The YEG was built around the same principles as YOG and took place in the mecca of Equestrian Sport, Aachen (GER). More information on this unique FEI event can be found here.
