Singapore will host the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010. The result was unveiled by IOC President Jacques Rogge at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Singapore beat Moscow in the final vote, 53 to 44. “Singapore has put together a very exciting project. Hosting the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) for the first time is a great responsibility, and I have every confidence in the team in Singapore. I have no doubt that their professionalism and enthusiasm will be instrumental in the staging of successful Youth Olympic Games in 2010,” said Rogge to journalists present in Lausanne.
More than seven months of hard work by Singapore's YOG bid committee, headed by Mr Ng Ser Miang, didn't go down the drain.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's Switzerland stopover to meet IOC President Rogge to show Singapore's seriousness in hosting the Games proved worthwhile.
Those who went to the Final Countdown Party at the Padang didn't go home with sad faces.
The Games village that will house the more than 3,200 athletes and 800 officials should be ready on time.
It's time to prove the world that Singapore is ready.
