Youth Olympic Games

Hi all, Today, I am going to talk about the Youth Olympic Games which is taking place In Singapore. The Opening Ceremony was held a couple of days ago at the Floating Platform. Singapore has never had so many visitors from so many countries. There are in total 204 nations and 3600 athletes. The first Youth Olympic Games, which is taking place in Singapore, was inaugurated by Our President SR Nathan during the opening ceremony. During the opening ceremony, the athletes were sitting in the stands, watching the showed that was being performed for them. However, now is the time for these young athletes to show case their talents to the world. Although the area for the opening ceremony was not as large as compared to the Beijing Stadium, where the Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Olympic Games took place, but no doubt the level of enthusiasm and energy level had been as high and as great. This had thus became a historic moment for Singapore, where a small island is holding such a big event. This is indeed a big event, the First Youth Olympics Games, and Singapore will be marked down into the History as the first nation to organise this event. While holding the Youth Olympic Games, Singapore would also improve on its economy as more people from all over the world would come to Singapore to watch the Opening Ceremony and also to watch the matches of the sports competitions. Thus, they would tend to stay over in Singapore and also they would go to try out the delicacies in Singapore and the popularity of the food in Singapore would rise and the economy of Singapore would also improve. I wish Singapore good luck in holding this Youth Olympic Games. As the first Youth Olympic Games holder, Singapore must make a very good impression of itself for the other countries
