Singapore will host the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG).[1] According to the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC), Singapore's concept fully embraces the Olympic values, with fully integrated Sports, Education and Culture programmes to engage and inspire young people. As a diverse community with many languages and cultures, Singapore is 'united and committed as a country', in its enthusiasm to host the 2010 Youth Olympic Games.
The SNOC is currently working closely with the International Olympic Committee, and is hoping to deliver a creative and exciting Youth Olympic Games. As claimed by the SNOC, Singapore, with its dedicated team and excellent track record in large scale events and conferences, will guarantee a successful YOG in two and a half years.[2]
