The inaugural Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be held in Singapore through 14-26 August 2010. The trials ran through 21-23 May.
European Athletics Athletes Commission Member Laurent Ottoz, the Italian champion hurdler, mingled and chatted with athletes in the programme's tent at the stadium during the three-day event.
The activities, aimed at spreading awareness about anti-doping, included a one-minute online quiz and offered the participants access to an educational tool to learn more about anti-doping. The participants also had the chance to take part in a lottery in which they could win event passes for the 2010 European Athletics Championships in Barcelona, Spain, to be held from 26 July to 1 August.
The winners in Moscow were Rene Mí¤hlmann of Germany, Minna-Marjatta Liimatainen of Finland and Laura Izquierdo from Spain, with each of the athletes receiving two event passes for the championships in Barcelona.
The Anti-Doping Education Programme activities are aimed to help athletes gain better understanding of doping-related issues and their own responsibilities.
The programme is organised in co-operation with the IAAF, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
