OLYMPIC REVIEW39YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMESHow much did you enjoy the Youth Olympic Games?It was really a great experience for me as I was able to meet athletes from all over the world. It wasreally interesting living in the village because youlearn so much about different sports and differentcountries and cultures - it was great.How different is the YOG to otherchampionships that you've competed in?The focus isn't so much on the sports - it's onhaving fun together and meeting new people. I like that element and I think it's important.How important to you was it to win the gold medal?It's really important for me because winning the first rowing medal at the Youth Olympic Games is something people will remember. In ten years,they can say, "That's her - she won the gold medal at the first ever YOG."JUDITH SIEVERS(GER) - GOLD MEDALLIST IN WOMEN'S SINGLE SCULLS
