At the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, 36 athletics events were contested – 18 for boys and 18 for girls – on August 17–19, 2010 and August 21–23, 2010.[1][2] The events took place in Bishan Stadium, Singapore.[3] Athletes born between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1994 were eligible to compete.[4] Continents selected their athletes through Youth Continental Championships (Continental Youth Olympic Trials).

While most events mirrored those at the Summer Olympic Games, some events were distinct from the Games' senior counterpart. A 1000 metres race was scheduled in place of the more traditional 800/1500 metres races. The steeplechase was held over 2000 m, instead of the seniors' 3000 m distance, and the competition featured a medley relay with legs of 100 m, 200 m, 300 m and 400 m (in the Swedish style). Combined (or multi-discipline) events were not contested.[5]

Games events

17 individual events and 1 relay will be contested making it a total of 18 events for girls and boys. Some events will differ between the girls and the boys.

Sprints, Hurdles, and Relays

For the sprints, hurdles, and relays, there will be two stages consisting of two rounds: Round 1 and Finals. Depending on the final number of entries, 2-3 heats or more would be necessary. From results achieved in Round 1, athletes will be placed in A, B or C (or additional) Finals, in accordance with procedures to be determined by the Event Delegate. Final placings in each discipline will be determined by adding each athlete’s time in the Stage 1 Final to his/her time in the Stage 2 Final. Ties will be resolved in favour of the athlete with the faster time in either Final.[9]

Mid and Long Distance

Some confusion has been caused by a mid 2009 Singapore Athletics document appearing to suggest that placings in the heats and the finals will be added to give a final placing [10]

Depending on their performance in the heats, athletes will be allocated to a A,B.or C final. The final placings will be decided by the placings in the final only, the placings in the A final will determine the medals, with no back reference to the heats. The B final will determine positions 9-16 etc [11]

Horizontal Jumps and Throws

Similar to Mid and Long Distance events. In the finals for each event, athletes will have 4 attempts. [12]

High Jump and Pole Vault

Similar to Mid and Long Distance events. Final placings in each discipline will be determined by adding each athlete’s best result in the Stage 1 Final to his/her best result in the Stage 2 Final. Ties will be resolved in favour of the athlete with the best individual result in either Final.[13]
