Summer Youth Olympics appearances (overview)

Malaysia competed at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, in Nanjing, China from 16 to 28 August 2014.

On 22 August 2014, Cheam June Wei became the first Malaysian to win a Youth Olympic gold medal when he won the badminton mixed doubles gold with Hong Kong's Ng Tsz Yau as his partner.[1] Also, National men archer Mohd Zarif Syahiir won silver in archery mixed team medal with Germany's Cynthia Freywald at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing.[2] However both gold and silver was not credited to the individual nation's medal tally as the event was a mixed-National Olympic Committees event in which athletes from different nations team up to compete under the Olympic flag. National woman diver Loh Zhiayi won a silver and bronze medal in the 10m platform individual event and women's 3m springboard event at the Youth Olympic Games 2014.[3][4]
