Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Athletics at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics – Boys' 10 kilometre walk
the event is notable under  as an elite international competition.  This is sanctioned by the IOC, just like the Paralympics.  Subsequently each gold medalist is NOW notable, because of their participation in this event, though they are so new to the scene that an article has yet to be written about them.  As mentioned above, they are more likely to have an article written as they advance in their careers, or possibly also if this becomes their highest achievement.  This event is so recent, time has not had the opportunity to get this done.  You can't hold red links against them or this article.  I repeat this on AfD so often, but nobody listens:  there is no reason to rush to judgement, to rush to delete.  Deletion ruins any potential an article has.  It hides the work anybody else has already done and places a stigma on an article that potentially leads to future speedy deletion.  I'm particularly sensitive to this territory because I am the guy who is writing the articles (like James Stallworth (athlete) and Obea Moore) about flash in the pan elite youth athletes.  But this is so recent, even I don't know which of these will generate enough significance for my attention . . . yet
