I think that the youth Olympic games that is held in Singapore is an eye opener for many Singaporeans as Singapore has never hosted such a wonderful event before. This youth Olympic games has also help Singapore to straighten it's path, tying up loose ends and proving that Singapore, although being such a small country, is able to host such a large event that has taken the world by storm. The youth Olympic Games also taught us Singaporeans to be grateful for being born here as we can witness such an event in our own country and do not have to travel far. The youth Olympic Games helped many young athletes to fulfill their dreams as they are too young to participate in the real one and given them a chance to participate in the youth Olympic Games. Thank you YOG.

The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) is an international multi-sport event first held in Singapore from August 14 to August 26 2010. The games are planned to be held every four years in staggered summer and winter events consistent with the current Olympic Games format. The Youth Olympic Games will feature athletes between the ages of 14 and 18. The idea for such an event was introduced by International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge in 2001. On July 6, 2007, IOC members approved the creation of a youth version of the Olympic Games.
