Background
The current format of sports events meets the expectations of certain types of audience. The Olympic Movement should organise sports events that meet the highest expectations of young people in order to promote physical activity and competition, and to highlight the personal and societal benefits that it can bring.
 
Focus of study
Young people's interest in sport events
What motivates young people to watch and participate in sporting events?

Through competition, what measures must be taken to respect the physical, mental and social development of a young person?

How will Youth Olympic Games and World Championships develop and mature in the future?

Should the Olympic Movement create and organise events for young people, whether sports-related or not? If so, how? If no, why?
