VietNamNet Bridge – More than 100 Vietnamese athletes will participate in the 2013 Asian Youth Games in China from August 16-24.

They will compete in 14 out of the total 17 events such as track-and-field, swimming, table-tennis, taekwondo, weightlifting, male soccer, handball, shooting, badminton, golf, fencing and judo.
