Surfing will be included in the Dakar 2022 Youth Olympic Games
San Marcos University presents the news of the day.
The Youth Olympics will include surfing in 2022.
The sport of surfing will be present for a new edition of the Youth Olympic Games. 
The inclusion comes after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the sport's incorporation into the 2022 Dakar Rally, considering it a growth activity for young people. 
The competition will be for shortboard boards and gender equality is planned for the competition. 
Qualification for the Youth Olympic Games is achieved in the same way as the senior Olympics, that is, through a ranking where points are earned. 
How do you get a spot to compete? There are essentially three ways: win it in a pre-Olympic Youth tournament, achieve a qualifying time in a competition recognized by the relevant International Sports Federation, or be in the correct position in the Olympic ranking for your specialty.
