Youth Olympians Return From Singapore
Last night [Aug 28] three of the four teenage athletes who represented Bermuda in the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore returned to the island.
The three pictured at the airport last night [sprinter Jeneko Place, sailor Owen Siese, and middle distance runner Taylor Ashley-Bean] all captured top 10 finishes in the world class event. Also flying the flag for Bermuda in Singapore was 17-year-old triathlete Ryan Gunn, who did not return home with the rest of the team.
Bermuda’s representatives were among some 5,000 athletes and officials from 205 National Olympic Committees. The Youth Olympic Games, which will be held every four years, provide qualifying young athletes, aged 14 to 18 years, with the opportunity to compete for their countries at the world level.
