Starting from the first host select the right option of hosts of Youth Olympic Games in chronological order :

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (1):
The correct chronological order of the Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) hosts, starting from the inaugural event, is Singapore, Nanjing, Buenos Aires, and Dakar. The Youth Olympic Games is an international multi-sport event for young athletes aged 14 to 18, and it is structured to occur every four years. The first edition, which officially launched the new Olympic initiative, was successfully held in Singapore in 2010. Following this, the second Summer YOG took place in 2014 in Nanjing, China. The third and most recent edition was hosted by Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2018. Dakar, Senegal, is set to be the next host city, marking the first time an Olympic event will be held in Africa, though its original 2022 date was postponed to 2026. This sequence correctly identifies all four host cities in the order they took or will take place.

The incorrect option is (2):
This option, listing Beijing, London, Rio, and Tokyo, is incorrect because these cities hosted the *Senior* Summer Olympic Games, not the Youth Olympic Games (YOG). Beijing hosted in 2008, London in 2012, Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and Tokyo in 2020 (held in 2021). The question specifically asks for the hosts of the Youth Olympic Games, making this sequence irrelevant to the query.

The incorrect option is (3):
The sequence Buenos Aires, Dakar, Singapore, Nanjing is incorrect because it mixes up the chronological order of the hosts. Buenos Aires was the third host (2018), Dakar is the fourth (2026), Singapore was the first (2010), and Nanjing was the second (2014). For the answer to be correct, it must strictly follow the progression of the years the games were hosted.

The incorrect option is (4):
This option, which provides London, Rio, Tokyo, and Paris, is also incorrect as it lists host cities of the *Senior* Summer Olympic Games. London hosted in 2012, Rio in 2016, Tokyo in 2020 (2021), and Paris is scheduled to host in 2024. These major Olympic host cities are distinct from the hosts of the Youth Olympic Games, which are an entirely separate event.
