Just over 2 weeks to go before Singapore hosts the 1st Youth Olympic Games.

Weightlifting, one of the core Olympic sports, will feature as 1 of the 26 sports in the programme. It will see about 110 boys and girls competing across 11 weight categories from 15th to 19th Aug 2010. Singapore will be represented by Joel Law (62kg, Boys) and Jamie Emma Wee (58kg, Girls).

Supporting the YOG is the Sports Initiation Programme (SIP). Its objectives are to create and facilitate an understanding of the different Olympic sports. We will be organising the Weightlifting SIP at the competition venue on 15th and 16th Aug 2010.
