The third Summer Youth Olympics, held in Buenos Aires, will air daily on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA, starting with live coverage of the Opening Ceremony on Saturday. OlympicChannel.com will also live stream 24/7 coverage of the 12-day Games.
The Youth Olympics, for athletes ages 14 to 18, debuted in Singapore in 2010, followed in 2014 in Nanjing, China. Youth Winter Games were in Innsbruck, Austria, in 2012 and Lillehammer, Norway, in 2016.
Buenos Aires becomes the second South American host of an Olympic event after the Rio 2016 Games.
The Youth Olympics include most Summer Olympic sports — notably gymnastics, swimming, track and field — and some sports and events that are not on the Olympic program.
