From the beginning it was evident that Team Peleliu was the main contender in the Games, given that they had a full team in each sporting event and category and their relentless training in the months leading up to the Games. From the opening game to the last, and every game in between, Team Peleliu made their presense known on the court, field, track and even the water. Although they were not able to secure the top rank, the GOLD, in each sporting event, their determination and drive led them to medal in each sport and category. Team Aimeliik, although just a bit smaller than Team Peleliu, was just another force to be reckoned with. Those that managed to watch the games could not only feel the fierce competition between both teams,but were drawn to the tension with a kind of loyalty bordering on insanity. Although the turnout of state participation was small, the 2008 Youth Games will always be talked about in years to come
