Complete medal table

The 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games took place from August 14th to 26th, 2010 in Singapore . The event, held for the first time, was intended to inspire young people for the Olympic sports. 3522 young people aged 14 to 18 from 205 nations competed in 201 competitions in 26 sports.

Candidate cities

According to the decision of the members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 5, 2007 as part of their 119th session to introduce the Youth Olympic Games , a youth version of the Olympic Games , eleven cities initially ran for hosting the event. The list of applicants was later reduced to two candidatures. On February 21, 2008, Singapore's application prevailed with 53:44 votes against that of the Russian capital Moscow .

organization

The budget for the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games was around 222 million euros, three times the originally estimated cost. The IOC supported the event with more than 100 million euros. The competitions were held at 18 different sports facilities, twelve of which existed before and five were only temporarily set up to host the games. The opening and closing ceremonies took place on The Float @ Marina Bay , the world's largest floating stage , which was built in 2007 in Singapore's Marina Bay.

The accommodation for the athletes and their supervisors was built on the premises of Nanyang Technical University . The Youth Olympic Games program provided that all participants stay in Singapore for the entire duration of the Games. This should enable them to come into contact with other young people and take part in cultural and educational programs.

Participating Nations

3522 young people from all 205 countries with National Olympic Committees were represented at the Games in Singapore. This was one more country than the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing . Although the NOK of Kuwait was excluded from the event after the government of the country tried to exert political influence, the Kuwaiti athletes were allowed to compete under the Olympic flag .

The German-speaking countries were represented at the games as follows:

Africa (498)
America (728)
Asia (787)
Europe (1,255)
Oceania (236)
Other teams

The official mascots of the youth games were Lyo and Merly . Lyo was a male lion , Merly a female Merlion . The design of the mascots came from the designers Lee Wee Na and Stanley Toh, the names were determined through a public competition.

doping

There were two doping cases during the Games, both in a wrestling.

reporting

The premiere of the Youth Olympic Games generated a great deal of media interest. Around 1500 journalists were accredited , and television broadcasters from 166 countries reported on the competitions. The IOC deployed 29 young journalists as youth reporters who were supposed to convey their point of view of the games. The IOC also included the Internet in its reporting; in addition to its own Facebook page, a YouTube channel with current videos was set up.

"Scandal" on the part of Iran

On August 16, 2010, the final of Taekwondo up to 48 kilograms was to be held, for which an Israeli and an Iranian participant had qualified. Before the final, however, the Iranian support team announced that Mohammad Soleimani had injured his leg so badly that it was impossible for him to take part in the final. Observers assumed that the Iranian team did not let their athletes fight an Israeli because Iran does not see Israel as a sovereign state and it would have been a shame for the Iranian to have to stand under an Israeli flag at the award ceremony.

The Israeli athlete then won the final without a fight. The next day, the IOC said: “Based on the current state of knowledge, we assume that he was injured.” (IOC Vice President Thomas Bach ), “Soleimani has been x-rayed and has an ankle injury. The leg is not broken ”(IOC spokesman Mark Adams). That would not be a scandal that many news agencies and media spoke of prematurely. However, it would not have been the first time that athletes from Iran did not compete against Israeli athletes.
