Identifying talented youngsters in Dominica 2001–2004 expenditure US$ 6,400,000 22 23 Youth Development Programme Early talent identification, optimal supervision The Youth Development Programme helped NOCs, throughout the quadrennial plan, to set up or improve their systems for identifying young talented athletes. It also enabled a number of particularly promising athletes who had not previously been awarded Olympic scholarships to train in high-level centres recognised by the IFs or, in exceptional cases, to receive financial assistance for a specific training programme. In total, 155 talent identification projects for 78 NOCs were approved by Olympic Solidarity. By means of these projects, which became increasingly sophisticated over the four years, the NOCs carried out high-quality national talent identification programmes. In all, 48 NOCs also benefited from 87 individual assistance projects, and the results obtained by the athletes in the different competitions (world youth championships, regional, continental and/or international competitions) show that the standards are steadily improving, which augurs well for the future. <strong>Final</strong>ly, 278 athletes from 67 NOCs took part in individual training in high-level training camps organised in collaboration with the IFs. The results of this programme are hard to quantify because its primary objective extends beyond a single four-year period and aims to identify talented young athletes where they are and to supervise their development within their own cultural and family environment. <strong>Final</strong>ly, it is necessary to decide which elements should be included in the scholarship programmes for athletes at the Beijing Games in 2008 and even the 2012 Games.

Olympic scholarship holders tell their story Tashi Pelior and Tshering Chhoden obtained invitation places for the archery competition in Athens. They both scored archery’s biggest first-round upsets. Chhoden beat the 11th seed and reigning Asian Champion in the women’s draw and Peljor out shot the number 13 seed from France in the men’s. Both lost the next round but Chhoden said: I couldn’t have made it here without the scholarship. Tashi Peljor et Tshering Chhoden, “Athens 2004” Olympic scholarship holder in archery, Bhutan Churandy Martina qualified with a magnificent A-time for the Olympic Games. Without the Olympic scholarship this would not have been possible. It is the first time in history that our country participated in an athletics event, based on an A-qualification!
