Bid Good Bye to Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games

Yesterday, 26 August 2010 was the last day for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games which is held in Singapore! It was a sad moment that everyone will be bid good bye to Youth Olympic Games. For the past 2 weeks, everyone was watching and catching the sport and support and cheer their own country athletes.

Everyone was impressed and beyond expectations for Inaugural Youth Olympic Games. Some of the IOC members regret not to bring their best athletes to compete in Youth Olympic Games. All the hard work from the SYOG members, volunteers and the sponsors are pay off! Everyone is grateful to the volunteers. Without the volunteers, the inaugural Youth Olympic Games will not be success!

As for me, I am proud to be the volunteer for the Youth Olympic Games. Yesterday we had a great party. We are lucky as our venue is close to the Marina Float Platform (Stadium) for the closing ceremony.

We watched LIVE telecast through our iPhone app from SingTel and StarHub. At the same time we could catch the fireworks in full view!! The scenery was so beautiful!! Everyone took photographs for the last moment.

President Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee told 3600 athletes, “Years from now, when you reflect on your sports career, you will be able to say ‘I was in Singapore, where it all began’. You will keep this Singapore spirit alive in your countries as true role models. Let's the Singapore spirit to be live on!"

At 2101, the Youth Olympic Games fire flame was put out. Everyone was silents and it marks the end of the festival. Everyone bid farewell to the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. This is not the end of the journey but it is a brand new beginning for Youth Olympic Games.

In Year 2014, Nanjing, China will take over Singapore and host the 2nd Youth Olympic Games in summer. I'm sure that Nanjing host a great success for the Youth Olympic Games.

See you there in Nanjing, China in Year 2014!
