The 1991 European Youth Olympic Days (1991 EYOD) was the inaugural edition of multi-sport event for European youths between the ages of 13 and 18. It was held in Brussels, Belgium from 12 to 21 July. A total of nine sports were contested by 2084 athletes representing 33 European nations.[1][2] The idea for the competition came from Jacques Rogge, an International Olympic Committee member, as the continent did not have its own multi-sport event at the time.[3][4]
Sports
Nine sports were included in these initial Games, five individual sports of athletics, swimming, judo, tennis and table tennis for both genders, and four team sports; football and basketball for boys, volleyball and field hockey for girls.
