But the athletes will not lose themselves in various activities as they continue to create good results in competition.

A junior world record was born on the weightlifting platform Tuesday morning when Chinese national champion Deng Wei dominated the snatch by reaching 110kg - 15kg more than her closest rival - on her third attempt and followed with 132kg in the clean and jerk for a 242kg total, one kilogram better than the previous women's 53kg junior world record.

"I am satisfied and I've done my best," Deng said.

One the same day, China also took two swimming golds in women's 100m freestyle and women's 200m backstroke.

China's Lin Sheng beat the odds to grab the cadet female individual epee title, denying Italy a fourth fencing gold medal in the individual events at the Youth Games.

Gold is important but winning is not everything here.

Weightlifter Tibon Lomina from Marshal Islands only started hoisting a barbell over her head two months ago. She posted a score of 65kg -127kg lower than the winning total - in the women's 53kg competition. This trip to Singapore is the first away from home for athletes representing the Marshall Islands. For them, merely participating and soaking up the experience of an international competition is enough.

In the men's cross country cycling final, New Zealander Sam Shaw found his pedals jammed in the last lap at the Tampines Bike Park. Unable to ride, he picked up his bike and ran most of the last 3.1km lap, only jumping back on his bike to coast down hills.
