Commonwealth Youth Games appearances

Bangladesh competed in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games (officially known as the IV Commonwealth Youth Games) held in the Isle of Man from 7 to 13 September 2011. This was their second appearance in the Commonwealth Youth Games. The nation was represented by the Bangladesh Olympic Association, which is responsible for the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games in Bangladesh.

The Bangladeshi delegation consisted of four officials and four competitors: two men and two women, who took part in three different sports—athletics, boxing and swimming. (At the previous Commonwealth Youth Games, Bangladesh had a delegation of ten athletes.) None of the athletes won any medals. Papia Rani Sarkar finished sixth in the semifinal round of the 100 metres for women; bantamweight boxer Riyad Hossen received a bye into the quarterfinal, but then lost to Obedy Mutapa of Zambia. In the swimming heats, Sonia Akter finished 22nd in the 50 m backstroke and 19th in the 50 m butterfly, and Anik Islam finished 12th in the 50 m butterfly and 14th in the 100 m butterfly.

Background

[edit]
Medal map of the games. Bangladesh and other countries that won no medals are shown in green.

Bangladesh became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1972 and made its Commonwealth Games debut in the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] The Bangladesh Olympic Association, the country's National Olympic Committee, is responsible for the Commonwealth and Commonwealth Youth Games in Bangladesh.[1] Bangladesh did not participate in the first two Commonwealth Youth Games in Edinburgh (2000) and Bendigo (2004).[2] For the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune, India, it entered ten athletes, all men, who competed in athletics, boxing and shooting, winning one bronze medal in Weightlifting.[3][4][5] Bangladesh was one of the 63 nations and territories taking part in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games held in the Isle of Man from 7 to 13 September 2011, making its second appearance in the games.[6] This time Bangladesh, like 31 other countries, won no medals.[7]

Delegation

[edit]

The age of every participant at the Commonwealth Youth Games is between fourteen and eighteen years in the year of event.[8] Each Commonwealth Games Association can send a maximum of one thousand competitors.[8] The Bangladesh Olympic Association selected a delegation consisting of four officials and four competitors for the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games.[9] Riyad Hossen, the only one to have taken part in the previous games,[3] boxed in the bantamweight class.[10] Papia Rani Sarkar was the only Bangladeshi competing in athletics. Sonia Akter and Anik Islam, the delegation's only two swimmers, each participated in two events. The head of delegation was A K Sarker.[9][11]
