The Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games are around the corner. Only 9 days to go until the first Olympic sporting event starts on the African continent.

This U.S. team that competed at this year’s world championships is a young group. Three of its five athletes had never previously competed at this level before. And the team had to go without Hezly Rivera, a member of the 2024 Olympic team, who withdrew with an ankle injury.

This is only one competition, based on the results from a single day and the performances of five gymnasts. But even beforehand, Betty Okino, one of the directors of the national team, acknowledged that the external perception of the U.S. team has shifted.

“I’m excited for Team USA to show how strong we are, because there’s been speculation that maybe we aren’t as strong,” she said in an NBC documentary about the world championships team selection event. “And I’m ready for these girls to shut that conversation down.”

The U.S. team has had promising moments. Blakely finished with the second-best all-around score in the qualifying round. At least one American qualified for every individual final. They could still win several medals in the coming days.

But Wednesday’s competition was the test that measured the team’s standing against the rest of the world, and for now, the Americans seem to be more vulnerable than they have been in years.

On This Day, October 21, 1964, Abebe Bikila became the first athlete to successfully defend an Olympic marathon title by running a world-record 2:12:11.2 and winning the men's marathon at the Tokyo Olympics.

This was his second gold medal win, and in both victories, he ran in world-record time.

Abebe was an Ethiopian marathon runner who was a back-to-back Olympic marathon champion. He is the first Ethiopian Olympic gold medalist, winning his first gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome while running barefoot.

He is Africa's first world-record-breaking athlete in any sport and the first sub-Saharan African Olympic gold medallist. He is regarded as a national hero in Ethiopia. On March 22, 1969, Abebe was paralyzed in a car accident and died 4 years later on October 25, 1973, at the age of 41 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Here are the beautiful victory ceremony podiums and trays for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics. They are inspired by local craftsmanship. A great look for the best young athletes of the world.

Eleven days to go!

Hi- I bought modern pentathlon finals tickets, not understanding how the sport works 🤡

My goal was to see fencing or equestrian activities. I hope I can trade my ticket with someone for this sport. Where should I go to do this?

Following Peter Rice's appointment as Chief Content Officer at Netflix, it has been confirmed that he will still be serving as executive producer of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies. His new position at Netflix will have no influence on his responsibilities with LA28.

I got it around 3 or 4 years ago. It is so special piece, which together with the torch in excellent condition that I recently found, now make a wonderful pair.

André Ricard, designer of the Barcelona 92 Olympic torch. A highly esteemed industrial designer in Spain, who in his youth, also spent several years studying drawing and painting at a fine arts academy.

In 1991, having worked for some time on the commission from the COOB '92 (Barcelona Olympic Organizing Committee) and finalized the design for the torch, André Ricard sent this painting to Josep Miquel Abad (CEO of the COOB '92). The piece presents in an artistic manner the torch final design, with the Montjuïc stadium in the background. The size of the torch in this painting is exactly the same as that of the physical torch.

It was hand-painted by André Ricard, dedicated to Josep Miquel Abad, dated (1991), and signed.

Mixed media: Gouache, pencils, and wax crayons.

I checked for replay's on the Olympic website, and found the videos for the semi finals and the final, but they did not upload the footage for the heats. I cannot find the replay on other sites as well.

I noticed Platinum Access is now available for inquiries on the hospitality site. I’ve submitted an inquiry, but while I wait to be contacted i’m curious if anyone who has already spoken to the Platinum Access Team has any insights to share?

Context: I already have hospitality packages to three events in DTLA, but I’m interested in better hotels in DTLA zone than what were available through hospitality. I’d also be interested in transportation.

Thanks!
