Singapore has once again broken new grounds, by being the FIRST ever host for the Youth Olympic Games! The Singapore Government has indeed put in a lot of revenue in making sure that every aspect of the Youth Olympic Games is covered and that it will be next to perfect.
And indeed, it has been flawless with minor mistakes every since the starting of the Youth Olympic Games. The Opening Ceremony started with dazzling fireworks, and wonderful and outstanding performances.
Although I am after all a Malaysian and come from Kuala Lumpur, I do believe that it is very nice and offers world class performances. I get free viewing of ‘live’ happenings of the Youth Olympics ALL over Singapore!
To give some background information, Singapore made its first formal bid to host a multi-disciplinary sporting event of such a magnitude in its country. Positive factors in its bid included its high connectivity with the world, its youthfulness as an independent country, and its positive reputation for excellence and
multi-racial harmony. The city-state rolled out a high-publicity campaign which included being amongst the first to launch its official website, bid logo and a bid tagline "Blazing the Trail" on 16 October
2007. It also got the local population into support its bid, including an effort by students to collect1 million signatures in support of the games. The logo-making competition for the Games attracted 1,500
participants and the winning design Entitled 'Spirit Of Youth' was unveiled on 10 January 2010.
I hope that in the days to come, I will be further enthralled and ‘WOW’ed by the Youth Olympics. Blazing The Trail really does bring all the sports to one phrase, to set new standards, to break records, to
BLAZE THE TRAIL!!!
I hope to instill the values of the Olympic Games inot me, which are respect, friendship and excellence.
