Sierra Leone competed at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, held in Singapore from 14 August to 26 August 2010. The nation was represented by the National Olympic Committee of Sierra Leone, which sent a total of three athletes to compete in one sport, athletics. The flagbearer at the opening ceremony for the nation was athlete Nenneh Barrie.[1] Sierra Leone's Olympic team was one of the 106 that did not win a single medal at the Games.
Athletics
[edit]Athletics was the only sport Sierra Leone participated in. All three athletes did not make it to the medal final, but instead entered the C Finals (non-medal final) to compete with other athletes who similarly did not make the mark.[2]
