Nanjing of China won the hosting right for the second Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2014 here on Wednesday.

Nanjing won the vote by a narrow margin 47-42 over the only other candidate city Poznan of Poland.

The result was announced by International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge at the 122nd IOC session in Vancouver.

Talking about the close competition with Poznan, Zhu Shanlu, director of the Nanjing Bidding Committee said he felt nervous when seeing the narrow result.

"I had thought about another result, because I always knew how hard and fierce it was to compete with Poznan," said Zhua after the session.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) holds its 122nd session in Vancouver, Canada, Feb. 10, 2010. IOC president Jacques Rogge announced during the session on Wednesday that Nanjing of China won the hosting right for the second Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2014

Nanjing, the capital city of eastern China's Jiangsu Province and the ninth largest city in China, joined Mexico's Guadalajara and Poland's Poznan in the running, before Guadalajara dropped out in January.

"We have a lot of things to do in the future, and we are ready to take the responsibility," Zhu said in the later press conference.

"Our city was very famous for its long history and the college education. We hope the Youth Olympic Games can boost the development of the physical education in China."
