NANJING will host the second Summer Youth Games in 2014, bringing the Olympic movement back to China six years after the Beijing Olympics.
Nanjing defeated the Polish city of Poznan 47-42 in a secret ballot on Wednesday of the International Olympic Committee. The Mexican city of Guadalajara withdrew as a candidate last month due to financial reasons. Nanjing came in as the favorite after an IOC evaluation report last month said the Chinese city presented the least risk of the bids. The Youth Olympics, a creation of IOC president Jacques Rogge, are for athletes aged 14-18. The inaugural Youth Games will be in Singapore this year from August 14-26. The first winter version will take place in Innsbruck, Austria, in 2012.
