SINGAPORE – Singapore’s resolve to encourage excellence in sports and make it a part of everyday life underscores the nation’s bid to host the first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2010.
“Singapore is blazing the trail in making deep investments in youth and sports, and we are impassioned and ready to give the world a model inaugural Youth Olympic Games,” said Teo Ser Luck, parliamentary secretary for the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and advisor to the YOG bid committee.
The bid tagline “Blazing the Trail” was selected by the bid committee to convey the spirit of innovation and the entrepreneurial and can-do-spirit of Singapore, making it an ideal partner to jointly blaze the trail with the IOC and host the first YOG.
Latest developments on the bid are now made available through the newly launched Singapore 2010 website, http://www.singapore2010.sg.
