BARBADOS’ lone representative in swimming at the Inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics Olympics in Singapore Lee-Ann Rose poses with her Coach Darny Olalde Hernandez and team mate from Judo at the Grantley Adams International Airport before departing for the 21 hour journey to Singapore. Rose participated in the 100 & 200 M backstroke events.

According to The President of the international Olympic Committee, JACQUE ROGGE the youth Olympics was a concentration on Youth, Sport and Culture: He addressed them a strong message:

“You will learn the difference between winning and being a champion. To win, you merely have to cross the finish line first. To be a champion, you have to inspire admiration for your character, as well as for your physical talent. You have to compete in spirit of fair play, respecting your opponents and the rules – without doping or any other unfair advantage”
