Kosovo Olympic Committee will make its debut at the forthcoming Youth Olympic Games to be held in the Argentine capital on 6-18 October. The Kosovar delegation will be represented at Buenos Aires 2018 by just five athletes.
Kosovo’s National Committee was created in 1992 but was only recognised as a Member of the International Olympic Committee in 2014, allowing a team of 8 athletes to represent the country for the first time at the summer Olympic Games Rio 2016. On such occasion, judoka Majlinda Kelmendi entrusted the first gold medal to the country.
