The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the IOC and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables. For the full medal table, refer to the main article. Medals won by teams with athletes from more than one National Olympic Committee are included in the table as medals awarded to a mixed-NOCs team. There were eight events which composed entirely of mixed-NOCs teams, and as such all 25 medals in these events, including two bronzes in judo, were swept by mixed-NOCs teams. The remaining medals were won in events which combined mixed-NOCs teams and teams representing one NOC. The mixed-NOCs listing is not given a ranking. Alongside the mixed-NOCs teams, the top ten ranked NOCs are listed below. China (highlighted), as host nation, is also included in the table. Cultural and education program Youth Olympic Games incorporate a Cultural and Education Program, featuring a variety of cultural and educational activities for young people. Youth Olympics include educational experience based on Olympic values that promote healthy lifestyles and allow young athletes to become well-rounded people with "true sporting spirits." Well-known athletes and "international specialists" guide the young participants. The program combines "Olympic traditions (such as the torch relay) with diverse cultures to spread the Olympic spirit." Athlete role models On 17 March 2014 37 athletes from the 28 Olympic sports were chosen by the IOC to be role models at the 2014 Youth Olympics. The athletes will offer support, mentor and advice to the participating youth Olympians. As an athlete role model they will take part in activities and workshops on healthy lifestyles, social responsibility and Olympism. They will also take part in informal chats known as "chat with champions."http://www.insidethegames.biz/olympics/youth-olympics/2014/1018932-nanjing-2014-athlete-role-models-unveiled Nanjing 2014 Athlete Role Models unveiled insidethegames.biz 17 March 2014 28 March 2014 29 March 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140329003343/http://www.insidethegames.biz/olympics/youth-olympics/2014/1018932-nanjing-2014-athlete-role-models-unveiled dead http://www.olympic.org/Documents/YOG/2014/2014-Athlete-Role-Models-List-Verified-en.pdf 2014 Athlete Role Models List IOC 17 March 2014 28 March 2014 On 9 April 2014 and 22 April 2014 footballer Simone Farina and swimmer Patrick Murphy were appointed as the 38th and 39th Athlete Role Model respectively. http://www.olympic.org/news/farina-appointed-to-youth-olympic-games-role/229382 Farina appointed to Youth Olympic Games role IOC 9 April 2014 26 April 2014 http://www.olympic.org/news/patrick-murphy-to-make-a-splash-at-the-youth-olympic-games/230125 Patrick Murphy to make a splash at the Youth Olympic Games IOC 22 April 2014 30 April 2014 Sport Athlete Role Model NOC Olympics ParticipatedAquatics (Diving) Minxia Wu China 2004, 2008, 2012Aquatics (Swimming) Patrick Murphy Australia 2004, 2008Archery Khatuna Lorig United States 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012A a aAthletics Dwight Phillips United States 2000, 2004Athletics Kajsa Bergqvist Sweden 1996, 2000Athletics Liu Xiang China 2004, 2008, 2012Badminton Nathan Robertson GBR 2000, 2004, 2008Badminton Cheng Wen Hsing 2004, 2008, 2012Basketball Jorge Garbajosa Spain 2000, 2004, 2008Basketball Anna Arkhipova Russia 2000, 2004Boxing Ren Cancan China 2012Canoeing (Sprint) Lisa Carrington New Zealand 2012Cycling (Track) Frédéric Magné France 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000Equestrian (Jumping) Samantha Lam 2008Fencing Lei Sheng China 2008, 2012Fencing Miles Chamley-Watson United States 2012Football Simone Farina Italy Football Sun Wen China 1996, 2000Golf Grace Park Gymnastics (Artistic) Jani Tanskanen Gymnastics (Artistic) Elizabeth Tweddle GBR 2004, 2008, 2012Gymnastics (Rhythmic) Luboŭ Čarkašyna 2012Gymnastics (Trampoline) Nuno Merino 2004Handball Alexandra do Nascimento Brazil 2004, 2008, 2012Field hockey Teun de Nooijer Netherlands 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012Judo Lucie Décosse France 2004, 2008, 2012Modern Pentathlon Amelie Caze France 2004, 2008, 2012Rowing Erin Cafaro United States 2008, 2012Rugby Sevens Heather Moyse Canada 2006, 2010, 2014B b bSailing Juan Perdomo Shooting Ivana Maksimovic 2012Table Tennis Jorgen Persson Sweden 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012Table Tennis Wang Liqin China 2000, 2004, 2008Taekwondo Wu Jingyu China 2008, 2012Tennis Paradorn Srichaphan 2000, 2004Triathlon Emma Snowsill Australia 2008Volleyball (Beach) Zhang Xi China 2008, 2012Weightlifting Kendrick Farris United States 2008, 2012Wrestling Kaori Icho Japan 2004, 2008, 2012 A a a Khatuna Lorig competed for the Unified Team in 1992 and Georgia in 1996 and 2000.
