The Youth Olympic Games are only 26 days away. Some details, like the mascots and such, have been revealed, but there’s still a lot that remains to be seen. The above preview of the Youth Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies may provide a few clues about what awaits.

The opening ceremonies look like they will be a little edgier and younger than the traditional Opening Ceremonies. It does look like they will be injecting some local culture, but at the same time, they are including the unique aspects of youth culture (which I suppose varies around the world, but in many places has a lot of similarities, especially in this networked world).

I have mentioned before that the Olympics need to take advantage of technologies like the Internet and YouTube. Perhaps the Youth Olympics will act as a wedge to kick that door open and bring it about.
