The first-ever Yuva Olympics 2024, hosted at SDAT Nehru Park, was a day of remarkable sportsmanship and inclusivity. Organized by the Yi Chennai Chapter, the event brought together 16 Yuva colleges, including the Yuva Club of REC, with over 200 participants, alongside 7 accessibility institutions featuring more than 100 differently-abled athletes. The day kicked off with a thrilling boccia match under the guidance of Mr. Sathish Vidhya Sagar, followed by an awe-inspiring blind football game led by Mr. Sebastian.

Weeks of planning, dedication and teamwork paid off, making the Yuva Olympics a truly unforgettable day.
