The day after the opening ceremony, MS will host Senegalese coaches in contact with the youth of their nation. We will also reflect on the opening ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games as well as the first hours of competition. 

Massamba Mbaye, coach of Senegalese wrestling, will be in our studio this Sunday. An former warrior known as Boy Yarakh, he now shares his knowledge with fighters from the popular neighborhoods of Dakar. He will come to discuss this youth that deserves to be honored during the Youth Olympic Games. 

Alongside him will be Ibrahima Faye, known as "Beuz," a renowned wrestling promoter, and Souleymane Mbaye, a former world boxing champion and currently the owner of a training facility, Keur de champions, in Dakar. 

You will also hear from Yiech Pur Biel, a former athlete from South Sudan and now the team leader of the IOC refugee team for the Youth Olympic Games.
