Greece is the home of the Olympics.

Similarly, Singapore will be remembered as the origin of the Games' youth version.

Parliament Secretary (Community Development, Youth and Sports) Teo Ser Luck said: "Being the first host, it would be symbolic.

"Singapore will be the birthplace of the Youth Olympic Games, just as Athens is the birthplace of the Olympics."

The inaugural 2010 YOG will provide 3200 of the world's best young athletes a shot at glory.


Well , I quoted it from a group in facebook where we support Singapore's bid for the youth olympics.
