Decision
ResultEliminated from the shortlist in January 2008

The Turin bid for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics was an unsuccessful campaign to host the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG). The Italian city announced its bid on Date, which was later recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Date. The IOC shortlisted Turin with four of the nine applicant cities — Athens, Bangkok, Moscow, Singapore, and Turin; over Debrecen, Guatemala City, Kuala Lumpur, and Poznan — on November 8, 2007 in Lausanne, Switzerland. A subsequent report in January 2008 placed Moscow and Singapore as contenders for the bid, eliminating the three other cities — Turin included — from the shortlist; Singapore was later announced as the host city on 21 February 2008.

Turin had organised the 2006 Winter Olympic Games just years earlier.
