Diving Olympian recently elected in the EOC Athletes Commission Tania Cagnotto has busy months ahead. Together with three Spaniards: Mireia Belmonte Garcia (swimming), Ivan Leal Reglero (Karate) Galia Dvorak (table tennis),  and one Dane:  Henriette Engel Hansen (canoe) – Tania, who recently gave birth to a little girl Maya, will help young athletes preparing for the next Youth Olympic Games (YOG) set to take place in Buenos Aires this October.

They are part of a group of 17 Athlete Role Models (ARMs) named by the International Federations of sports featured on the YOG sports programme. These athletes will complete the list of 25 sports stars announced in November by the International Olympic Committee.

The list includes many well-known names in the world of sport, including Olympic and world champion.

In Buenos Aires, the ARMs will be on hand for a minimum of five days and will play a key role in supporting and mentoring the 3,998 young athletes who will be participating in the Games. The ARMs will be accessible to the athletes in the competition and training venues, in the Youth Olympic Village, and during a series of educational activities and workshops.
