NAIROBI asics gel lyte 3 soldes , Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China will be the biggest multi-sport competition in 2014.


Of course the World Cup in Brazil is in a class of its own, but only five African countries will be involved.


There is also the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland - but they too are only restricted to former Britain colonies.


Compared that to the 53 states from the continent who will be keen to rule the roost at the Youth Olympics in China and clearly, Nanjing rates higher as a true global championships, which will be in August.


But before that, each continent will have its own version of the Youth Games and Africa will be in Gaborone asics gel lyte 5 soldes , Botswana in May to select their athletes for the global showpiece.


The idea was born in 2006 to have the competition, but the very first African Youth Games only occurred in 2010. The international multi-sport event is held every four years to complement the current All-Africa Games.


Rabat in Morocco staged the first edition of the African Youth Games in July 2010 and attracted just over 1,000 athletes from 41 countries and regions participating in 16 sport disciplines.


However, Gaborone 2014 will cater for 2,500 young athletes participating in 20 sport disciplines. The Games cater for athletes aged between 14-18 years.


For the African athletes, the games will serve as a useful preparation platform for the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China in August.


The International Sport Federations of athletics asics gel quantum 360 knit 2 pas cher , basketball and swimming have also agreed to use Gaborone 2014 as a qualifying tournament for Nanjing 2014.


Four years ago, Tunisia's athletes won 25 medals (14 gold, nine silver and two bronze) on the last day to emerge as the best country.


This brought Tunisia' s medal tally to 36 gold, 11 silver and five bronze. Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria and Algeria were the other countries that did well.


In the track and field events, Tunisia actually ranked first with seven gold and two silver medals asics gel quantum 360 knit 2 noir , ahead of Morocco (four gold, six silver and 10 bronze) and Egypt (four gold, two silver and two bronze).


Each country has since put in place plans and programmes to polish its athletes ahead of the second Africa Youth games. Already, Kenya is looking at ways to widen its medal haul beyond its fortress - the track and field.


Boxing, swimming, hockey, and tennis are some of the disciplines that Kenya is eying and Kipchoge Keino asics gel quantum 360 soldes , the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) president said, the youths will get their fair chance to showcase the talent and also interact with their colleagues from other countries where they can share different life experiences in education and social settings.
