The 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games will be the fifth Commonwealth Youth Games which started in 2000. They will be held in Samoa. Samoa were the only bidders for the Games.
All events will take place in the capital city, Apia. The opening and closing ceremonies will be held in Apia Park, which will also host the athletics, rugby and tennis competitions. All other events (boxing, swimming, squash, weightlifting and lawn bowls) will be hosted in the Faleata Sports Complex.
Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth, youth and/or games:
“While the Governor, and the Mayor, and countless officers of the Commonwealth are at large, the champions of liberty are imprisoned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I urge you to spend your youth profitably in study and virtue.... In brief, let me see in you an abyss of knowledge.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
