Youth Olympic Games
Enable an AI agent to recognise a Youth Olympic Games edition, assess its sporting and youth-development readiness, and identify actions permitted by its authority, eligibility rules and participant protections.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise a Youth Olympic Games edition, assess its sporting and youth-development readiness, and identify actions permitted by its authority, eligibility rules and participant protections.
It can be Identify an edition and distinguish authoritative commitments from proposals or superseded plans.; Assess an athlete entry against applicable eligibility and qualification evidence, flagging decisions requiring authorised review.; Compare competition, learning and participant-service commitments with verified readiness.; Identify programme or schedule changes and route them to the body empowered to approve them.; Escalate safeguarding or delivery concerns through designated channels while restricting sensitive information.; Assess whether the edition can close and identify obligations that must transfer to a continuing owner..
Distinguishing features
Recognition as a Youth Olympic Games edition must be supported by authoritative designation; youth participation or Olympic-themed branding alone is insufficient.
The edition belongs to the Youth Olympic Games series and identifies its Summer or Winter context, rather than inheriting identity from a senior Olympic Games edition.
Participation is governed by the edition's youth eligibility and qualification provisions, rather than a generic definition of a young athlete.
The edition combines a multisport competition programme with identifiable learning or cultural-exchange commitments; their actual form requires edition-specific evidence.
Its competition and delegation arrangements must be distinguished from those of a single-sport junior championship or a locally organised youth festival.
Scope
+ Relationship between the Youth Olympic Games series, a particular edition, its season and its host

+ Readiness and operation of competition, accommodation and participant services
+ Safeguarding, accountable decisions, disruption handling and edition closure
- Olympic Games editions outside the Youth Olympic Games
- Independent youth championships, school competitions and regional youth festivals
- Athletes' complete biographies, medical records and career development
- Standing governance of the IOC, National Olympic Committees and international federations
- Detailed engineering, ownership and long-term operation of host infrastructure
- Host-city development policies beyond commitments attributable to the edition
Characteristics
- Series and edition identity
- Youth Olympic Games series; edition designation; authoritative designation evidence Prevents confusion between the recurring event, a specific edition and an unrelated youth competition.
- Season
- Summer | Winter | unresolved Determines which programme, venue conditions and participation rules must be examined.
- Host and scheduled period
- Designated host geography; scheduled dates; approved revisions Anchors delivery responsibilities and distinguishes schedule changes from a new edition.
- Edition lifecycle
- Proposed | designated | preparing | operating | concluded | closing | closed, with separately recorded postponement or cancellation decisions Constrains which commitments, operational actions and closure decisions are meaningful.
- Applicable youth eligibility
- Referenced birth-date or age provisions by sport, discipline and event, including their effective versions Avoids treating one assumed age band as sufficient for every participant.
- Delegation participation
- Delegation and responsible National Olympic Committee; entry status; applicable participation authority Connects entries to accountable bodies and separates qualification from confirmed participation.
- Approved competition programme
- Sports, disciplines, events and formats linked to their applicable programme decisions Defines what the edition must deliver without assuming another edition's programme applies.
- Learning and exchange provision
- Unspecified | planned | resourced | accessible | delivered | evaluated, assessed by commitment Makes youth-development commitments assessable alongside sporting delivery.
- Critical readiness
- Number of unmet mandatory gates, classified by service, severity and responsible authority Identifies conditions that block safe or authorised operation.
- Participant protection readiness
- Unassessed | gaps identified | controls verified | active concern | remediation under review Keeps safeguarding and age-appropriate support visible in decisions about participation and delivery.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 5 bundles · 10 layers · 10 findings · 20 questions.
Edition identity and authority Establishes which Youth Olympic Games edition is being represented and whose decisions govern it.
An agent must distinguish series-level expectations from binding edition decisions before interpreting readiness or proposing action.
Series and edition boundary
Separates the recurring Youth Olympic Games from an edition and its host arrangements.
Authoritative edition designation
Record the designation evidence, season, host and dates needed to recognise this edition without relying on its name alone.
- What authoritative record identifies this as a Youth Olympic Games edition and establishes its season and host? provenance
- Which statements describe the series, and which apply only to this edition or a particular planning version? boundary
Decision rights and lifecycle
Connects edition state and material changes to accountable authorities.
Authorised edition transitions
Record the current lifecycle state, supporting decisions and authority required for changes to host, timing or delivery commitments.
- Which recorded decisions establish the edition's current state and supersede earlier host or schedule commitments? provenance
- Who may approve postponement, cancellation or a material delivery change, and what may the agent only recommend? action
Youth eligibility and entry Represents the rules and decisions that turn a prospective young athlete into a confirmed participant.
Youth status, sporting qualification and delegation selection are separate conditions that an agent must not collapse.
Age and sport eligibility
Captures the eligibility provisions applicable to each proposed entry.
Applicable eligibility rule
Record the effective age or birth-date provisions and other entry conditions for the athlete's specific event.
- Which published eligibility provisions apply to this edition, sport and event, and how is age eligibility determined? definition
- What evidence supports the eligibility assessment, and which unresolved conditions require a competent authority's ruling? provenance
Qualification and delegation confirmation
Distinguishes a qualification opportunity from an accepted and accredited entry.
Entry decision chain
Record the applicable qualification route, quota or invitation status, delegation decision and entry confirmation without assuming one guarantees the next.
- What qualification route and allocation rules apply, and what evidence establishes this entry's current status? provenance
- Who can confirm, replace or withdraw the entry, and which deadlines or review procedures constrain that action? action
Sport and youth-development programme Defines the edition's sporting offer and the learning and exchange opportunities associated with participation.
The model must assess both competition delivery and the edition's specific youth-development commitments.
Competition programme and formats
Identifies the approved sports, events and competition arrangements for this edition.
Edition-specific sporting offer
Record approved events, participant categories and formats, including any edition-specific departures that require explicit interpretation.
- Which approved programme and rule versions define the edition's sports, events and team-composition formats? provenance
- Which arrangements differ from the corresponding senior Olympic or federation competition, and what consequences follow for entries and delivery? boundary
Learning and cultural exchange
Makes the edition's educational and intercultural commitments operationally assessable.
Accessible development opportunities
Record intended participants, learning objectives, delivery responsibilities and access conditions for promised activities.
- Which learning or cultural-exchange activities are committed for this edition, for whom, and with what intended outcomes? definition
- What evidence shows participants can access these activities alongside competition, recovery, language and accessibility needs? measurement
Young participant care and protection Represents the edition's responsibilities for safeguarding and supporting young participants across their Games experience.
Competition readiness alone cannot establish whether participation is appropriately supported and protected.
Safeguarding and accountability
Establishes protection responsibilities and routes for handling concerns.
Accountable protection arrangements
Record applicable protection arrangements, age-dependent requirements and designated reporting responsibilities without exposing individual case details.
- Which safeguarding, supervision and consent requirements apply to participants of different ages, and who owns each responsibility? definition
- How must an agent route a protection concern, and which information may it share with each authorised recipient? action
Supported participant journey
Examines care and service continuity from arrival through departure.
Age-appropriate service continuity
Record whether accommodation, transport, healthcare access, recovery and communication arrangements meet the edition's participant-support commitments.
- Which verified arrangements support young participants across arrival, accommodation, training, competition and departure? measurement
- What service failure requires a participation restriction or alternative arrangement, and who is authorised to decide? action
Edition delivery and accountable closure Connects readiness, operational decisions and completion evidence to the edition's sporting and youth-development commitments.
An agent needs evidence-based gates for operation and closure, including responsibilities that survive the closing ceremony.
Readiness and operational change
Assesses whether venues and services can deliver the approved programme under actual conditions.
Programme delivery gates
Record unmet prerequisites and dependencies across competition, participant services and learning activities, together with authorised responses to disruption.
- Which mandatory readiness gates remain unmet, and which competition or participant activities depend on them? measurement
- When weather, venue or service disruption affects the programme, who may reschedule, relocate, restrict or cancel the affected activity? action
Outcomes and residual obligations
Distinguishes completed activities from demonstrated outcomes and formally transferred responsibilities.
Evidence-based edition closure
Record accepted competition outputs, evaluated youth-development commitments and unresolved obligations requiring a continuing owner.
- What evidence establishes completion of sporting and learning commitments, and which claimed benefits remain unevaluated? measurement
- Which unresolved appeals, participant-support matters or legacy commitments must retain an accountable owner before the edition can close? action
What the second pass must settle
- Does the registry intend this entry primarily to represent the recurring Youth Olympic Games series, individual editions, or both through an explicit series-edition relationship?
- Which authoritative documents establish the current division of decision rights among the IOC, organising committee, international federations and National Olympic Committees?
- Which eligibility, qualification and team-composition provisions vary across editions and sports, and how should exceptions and superseded versions be represented?
- Which learning and cultural-exchange commitments are required across the series, and which are edition-specific choices with separately defined outcomes?
- What evidence and accountable sign-off are required to close an edition while preserving unresolved safeguarding, appeal and legacy obligations?
