Nationwide talent search underway

China's top sports governing body is rolling out a national program to select amateur athletes for 11 events at the upcoming summer Youth Olympic Games.

As the International Olympic Committee promotes the YOG as a celebration of youth for sports and cultural exchange, China has ramped up efforts to get more young people involved by launching the "Bring me to the Youth Olympics" talent selection process.

Swimming, athletics, five-a-side soccer and 3-on-3 basketball are among the 11 events on the official program of the Oct 6-18 YOG in Buenos Aires.
