Teams made up of athletes representing different National Olympic Committees (NOCs), called mixed-NOCs teams, participated in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics. These teams participated in either events composed entirely of mixed-NOCs teams, or in events which saw the participation of mixed-NOCs teams and non-mixed-NOCs teams. When a mixed-NOCs team won a medal, the Olympic flag was raised rather than a national flag; if a mixed-NOCs team won gold, the Olympic anthem would be played instead of national anthems. A total of 17 events with Mixed NOCs were held.
The concept of mixed-NOCs was introduced in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, in which athletes from different nations would compete in the same team, often representing their continent. This is in contrast to the Mixed team (IOC code: ZZX) found at early senior Olympic Games.
The following medal summary lists all nations whose athletes won a medal while competing for a mixed-NOCs team. If there is more than one athlete from the same nation on a medal-winning team, only one medal of that colour is credited. The summary shows how many events at which a nation had an athlete in a medal-winning mixed-NOCs team.
Athletes were paired off based on their performance during the ranking round of their respective individual events. For example the 1st ranked boy was paired with the 32nd ranked girl and the 2nd ranked boy was paired with the 31st ranked girl and so on.
Each doubles pair was determine through a draw where an athlete of one gender seeded 1-16 was paired with another athlete seeded 17-32 of the opposite gender.
Athletes were grouped based on their continental origins. For continents with not enough athletes riders from nearby continents were used (e.g. Ecuador for North America and Hong Kong, Iran and Malaysia for Australasia).
