Origins of the Youth Olympic GamesRecently, there are adults or Singapore youths rising their concerns about the Youth Olympic Games. Why amongst all the other choices, they chose 'Youth' instead? What are the reasons or origins of the Youth Olympic Games? What is the purpose of hosting it? Why was Singapore chosen as the first country to hold the first Youth Olympic Games? Let's just slowly reveal all the answers to break the silence and clear the doubts.
The tremendous support given by Singaporeans made it possible for Singapore to be chosen as the host for the first Youth Olympic Games. Various ways such as, "I support Singapore 2010"videos ,websites, banners, T-shirts and car decals collecting signatures and pledges in support of Singapore 2010, and carrying “I support Singapore 2010” on corporate collaterals. These were done with the effort of each and everyone of Singaporeans to strive for what they want. They hold on to strong belief all hopes are not lost when the results are announced yet.
Besides the hard work and effort submitted by the supporters, there is a political reason to why Singapore was chosen. It was because Singapore is a parliamentary democracy with a strong and stable government. It is single-tiered with no regional or local authorities. It creates a sense of security to whoever entering Singapore.
The purpose of the games is to develope the distinctions within the atheletes. Furthermore, the main values are friendship, excellence and respect. Beyond championship, the most significant aim of these events is the experience and positive lessons learnt.
I confidently trust that the Youth Olympic Games will be success in every aspect - be it morally or physically. Lastly, I will be looking forward to the games with my friends and family. We shall all cheer on Singapore!
