SINGAPORE has been awarded as the
winner to host the world's first
SUMMER
YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES
----------------------------------------
SINGAPORE won the right to stage the YOG
in a straight contest up against Moscow. It will be the
first time that our country will host a multi-disciplinary
sporting event of such an epic magnitude.
WHY SINGAPORE?
WHY SINGAPORE?
The YOG will feature traditional sports such as
athletics and swimming, but also some innovative
events such as beach-wrestling and BMX bike riding.
The Games will see 3,500 athletes aged
between 14 and 18 competing in 26 sports.
----------------------------------------
THE FACILITIES
SINGAPORE is proposing 24 venues, with four
being built as temporary facilities, including one large
cluster of 13 in its Marina-Kallang area.
The YOUTH Olympic Village would be
located at a new student residential complex at the
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE
slated for completion months before the event.
----------------------------------------
With our dream becoming a reality,
let's roar for SINGAPORE once
again and the real works will begin.
