Independent Olympic Athletes at the 2013 Asian Youth Games
# Independent Olympic Athletes at the 2013 Asian Youth Games

Independent Olympic Athletes is the team of Indian athletes who are competing at the 2013 Asian Youth Games in Nanjing, China, from 16 to 24 August 2013.

## Background

Indian athletes participated in the Games under the Olympic flag due to the suspension of the country's National Olympic Committee (NOC). Indian Olympic Association was suspended by the International Olympic Committee due to government interference in the autonomy of the country’s NOC.

## Over-aged athletes

The organising committee of the Games, Nanjing Asian Youth Games Organising Committee, barred participation of some Indian athletes who were supposed to compete in the athletics and weightlifting events "because they were above the stipulated age of 17". The incident attracted widespread media coverage and prompted government action. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports "ordered an inquiry to fix responsibility on the officials for the fiasco which had brought embarrassment to the country".
