really impressed with the lighting of the torch. the entrance of the phoenix boat was cool (plus the 'water' wings), the relay was beautiful (esp when the last bearer was running across the water stage) and that tornado-like flame was just plain awesome! well done singapore!
I don't how some ppl compare between beijing and singapore beijing was a summer games thats mean the biggest event in the whole world with long history but singapore organized a very first time event with a lot of expectations and small budjet from IOC so compare it with the next youth games not with a summer games its unfair its kinda silly comparison
Olympics Prez J Rogge described the village as "first class. This is the 22nd village I visited, since my first Olympic Games in 1968 so I can compare, and this is really in the top league of the Olympic villages".4-time Olympic medallist sprinter Franki Frederick said that all the best youth athletes in the world want to represent their country at the YOG so "it's no wonder they're setting new records." Internationale de Gymanastique Prez Bruno Grandi said "the YOG level is extremely high."
That is one sick flame, and one sick nation. Glad to see my home nation do so well in the first EVER YOG. Maybe your kids will be in one of these, but you know you witnessed the very first one.
"The Youth Olympics Games Int Olympics Comm president Jacques Rogge , was very happy with the tv coverage and TH-cam hits in so many countries with 166 broadcasters, exclaiming,"It was the? 3rd most-watched item on TH-cam in the world..that's something!" . 205 Countries participated, and newspapers and TV channels in Asia , Europe and the West caught the resounding success of the Opening Ceremony in Singapore held @ the Marina Barrage. One Australian tabloid posed," Could we do this?"
@willyu1 french aside from English has a larger speaking community compared to other languages. Furthermore it is also the first language to be spoken by the world and it also has a highest honor as a language... this can be seen from the speech given by the person in charge of the various event that is major and involve world wide.
@Mackey164 , if not "stolen bits (of) other cermonies, does this yog have a show at all? of course you're right as many yog participants think many dances and performances are originally from their countries - not sinagpore . maybe the pyros are new but they looked skimpy and too cheap to cost millions. forget this yog and watch the new delhi commonwealth or the guanchou china asia games later this month and next, respectively. am sure this yog will fade out in memoriy lane.
I must say, these Youth Olympics are a stepping stone for future olympians. Do not be angry on these Youth Games.(PS : Thanks for the compliments on the 2010 Commonwealth Games, hosted by my country!)
@willyu1, notice how some people here defend all the mistakes in this yog . as one blogger suggested , these people are likely to be involved in the planning of this yog programmes.it is pointless to provide any feedback to them. let them wear thier blinkers and fade out from the world beyond theirs. also remember most yog volunteers in this yog are not all singaporeans . most are foreign students who are bored after this yog because they have nothing else to do in little boring singapore

really impressed with the lighting of the torch. the entrance of the phoenix boat was cool (plus the 'water' wings), the relay was beautiful (esp when the last bearer was running across the water stage) and that tornado-like flame was just plain awesome!

The speeches are important as are the artistic, gymnastic, acrobatic, entertainment parts. Is youth games prior to youth olympics?
Clement Ng They are the same.
Oaths too, committee speeches count
@soccergirl924 Yep. But not ice hockey.
Question?? How come the Youth Olympics was never broadcast on Television, and it didn't even appear on the Newspaper?
Starting in 2014 NBC Began broadcasting the youth Olympics.
