My country, Singapore, has won the bid to host the first Youth Olympics in Southeast Asia! Singapore has beaten Moscow to host the Youth Olympics 2010 which will see 3500 athletes, 14-18 year-olds, competing in 26 sports such as swimming, beach-wrestling and BMX bike riding.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the Games to the city-state ahead of Moscow by a vote of 53 to 44. It will be the first time that Singapore is hosting a multi-disciplinary sporting event of such a magnitude.
Singaporeans from all backgrounds have supported the bid and yes, I’m proud to be a Singaporean!
