Nanjing 2nd Asian youth games

Posted by 佳信

Asian youth games 2013


It is planned to stage the 2nd Asian Youth Games in the historic Chinese city of Nanjing from August 16-24, 2013. Just like in Singapore in 2009, it will be a full-scale dress rehearsal for the International Olympic Committee’s Youth Olympic Games the following year.

Initally, organisers proposed nine sports - athletics, swimming (including diving), 3-on-3 basketball, tennis, judo, fencing, weightlifting, football and table tennis – but the programme is being expanded.

Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, hosted China’s 10th National Games in October 2005, so the infrastructure is already in place.
