The 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, officially known as the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), were an international multi-sport event held in Singapore from 14 to 26 August 2010. The event was the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, and it saw 3,531 athletes between 14 and 18 years of age competing in 201 events in 26 sports. This medal table ranks the 204 participating National Olympic Committees (NOCs) by the number of gold medals won by their athletes. The Kuwait Olympic Committee was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) prior to the Games, but Kuwaiti athletes were allowed to participate and the country is listed in the table, bearing the Olympic flag.
Of the nations that won medals at these Games, a total of nine had not won an Olympic medal – Bolivia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Cyprus,Cambodia,Equatorial Guinea,Guatemala,Jordan,Nauru and Turkmenistan – thus their medals won in Singapore were their first medals at an Olympic event. A further three nations – Puerto Rico,Vietnam and the U.S. Virgin Islands – won their first gold medals at an Olympic event, having previously only won medals of other colours. In addition, the Netherlands Antilles won their last-ever Olympic medal as the country was dissolved two months after the Games.
