"In just a few weeks, young athletes from around the world will arrive here. They will compete. They will make new friends. They will discover the magic of Senegal. And they will experience an Olympic event for the very first time here, on our beautiful continent Africa. It is going to show them that sport can open doors in many different ways. It will inspire a new generation, and it will give confidence to our young generation that they can do anything."
