Kitesurfing not included in Youth Olympic Games Oct 2018?

I looked into the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Argentinean site link for kiteboarding, but it is not mentioned.
Did they take away kitesurfing? Was it ever included?

Just wondering about the odds of kitesurfing being included among the Olympic sports :roll:

It pays to know that kiteboarding falls under Sailing nowadays. Follow this link: https://www.buenosaires2018.com/es/deportes/vela
