Oman at the Youth Olympic Games
Oman also sends young athletes to the Youth Olympic Games. These games are for younger competitors.
At the first Summer Youth Games in Singapore in 2010, two young people from Oman competed. A boy and a girl took part in sports like athletics and horse riding (equestrian sports).
One Omani show jumper, Sultan al-Tooqi, won a silver medal. He won it with his horse, Joondooree Farms Damiro. This medal was part of a mixed team from Australasia. Because it was a mixed team, this medal does not count towards Oman's official Olympic medal count.
In 2014, three young Omani athletes went to the Youth Games in Nanjing. Two boys and one girl competed in athletics and beach volleyball.
