Social media personality Khaby Lame is helping to shine a spotlight on the first Olympic sporting event ever to be staged on the continent of Africa - the Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026, which begin later this month. As the Youth Olympic flame is making its way through Senegal, excitement is building for the groundbreaking event, and popular star Lame is bringing his own brand of light and humour to the momentous occasion. “I think it's an honour to be here. It's an honour to see all the youth and all the kids improving themselves in this Olympics. It’s going to be a nice experience and I can't wait to see it start,” said the Dakar 2026 ambassador, whose ‘silent’ comedy has brought him many millions of followers across social media platforms.
