The Ist SUMMER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES  |
 |
|
 |
The first Olympic Games of Youth in Singapore have been together nearly 3,600 athletes and 800 officials. The sports program has included all the sports on the Olympic program Summer 2012 with a limited number of disciplines and events. Of course, some sports were not in their configuration as Olympic basketball.
Regarding the organization, we must congratulate the organizing committee that two years half has passed an extraordinary result, these Games are on point, much better organized than some cities that have had seven years to organize.
These Games were a success.
There is little to be any medals table as some mixed events do not affect the gender of athletes, but athletes of countries making up the team. The results for theses contests will be aviable in he detailled results. |
