Argentina to consider Olympics bid

Argentina

will consider a possible Olympic Games bid after completing the Youth Olympics starting in Buenos Aires this week, Argentina president Mauricio Macri said yesterday.

Macri, speaking at the start of an Olympic forum in the Argentine capital, said the Buenos Aires Youth Games had introduced innovations that could be implemented in other events.

The Youth Olympics are an International Olympic Committee (IOC) event and are a scaled down version of the Games, organised every four years for young athletes. (Reuters)
