The fifth Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF)

The fifth Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) promises to be the biggest and best yet, with more sports, more competing countries and more aspiring Olympians than ever before.

The best young athletes from Australia and around the world will converge on Sydney to compete at the Olympic venues over five days of competition from January 14 – 18 2009.

After a successful Beijing Olympics and a looming London Games, both China and Great Britain are sending large teams. China is sending the biggest team – 273 athletes and officials. Great Britain – 190, New Zealand – 229 and Japan – 117.

Australia will field a team of 660 athletes and officials. Many of these athletes will go on to wear the green and gold in London, some at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

In total, 1550 athletes from 27 countries will compete across 17 sports.
