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.
