The Guarding the Asian Games Education Programme took centre stage at the OCA-ISU Asian Youth Camp, with dedicated sessions on the Prevention of Competition Manipulation and Clean Sport.
Delivered by OCA Athletes Department Manager and PMC Instructor Jamyang Namgyal and Samiha Annouka from the OCA Anti-Doping Department, the sessions focused on raising awareness and empowering the next generation of athletes to uphold the values of clean, fair and ethical sport.
