Newly-crowned European junior champion Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia will be among the title favorites when the 13-day Games kicks off.

The European junior title was not the first title of 2010 for the 18-year-old. Dzumhur did not drop a set at the 35th City of Florence International Tournament in Italy, and also won the 18th International Junior Tournament of Offenbach/Main in Germany.

Even if some of the athletes have yet to make a splash on international stage, they may have the potential in their genes.

"We came here with one goal. To get the gold." claimed Sterling Gibbs. The American boy, 17, has big ambitions for his 3-on-3 basketball team, standing between 1.88m to 2.05m to tower over the others.

For Sterling, playing basketball runs in his blood. His elder brother, Ashton Gibbs is one of the best shooters with Pittsburghpanthers in college basketball league, and under his influence Sterling started catching on the game at a young age.
