The purpose of this thesis is to examine some of the claims of the Olympic Movement
through the eyes of Australian athletes at the latest summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) of
2018. The dissertation takes a different approach from most previous scholarship that has
largely concentrated on the peculiarities of the YOG, like the new sport event formats, legacy
aspects related to the athletes, and the educational programme. It discusses the role of the
athletes themselves, which is rare in the literature and non-existent in terms of Australian
participants who have represented their country at all the games. As well as an academic
interest in the subject, I also have a personal interest as a former Olympian. I represented
Australia in the marathon at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, some years before the
YOG existed.
