Everybody should be proud of the first youth olympic games.. Everyone made this event a Success! The athletes are superb talents! Way to go and i cant wait for the YOG in China!
I don't know what and how others might feel , impressed or otherwise with the closing ceremony , but , just look at the athletes enjoying themselves there perhaps the most immediate and direct testimonial of the closing ceremony, it was definitely and unquestionably a SUCCESS . SINGAPORE has did it again !!! if you agree m thumbs UP !
ongcheonghock your daughter! My goodness I saw a video just showing her in this very ceremony. She has and still has a wonderful, beautiful voice :) I almost fell out of my seat when I first heard her sing. Absolutely amazing and talented

the yog may not have been as successful as we hoped for but the thousands of people who spent hundreds of hours making it a success deserves credit. I know how hard everyone worked cause i was one of the performers in the weird costume with the "crab claw" headgear and i chalked up 200 hours of cip from march to august because of yog...
Well done to every single person that was involved in this event! Well done to all Singaporeans who embraced and graciously tolerated the inconveniences caused by this event! An impressive feat accomplished by the "Little Red Dot" :-)) *standing applause*
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 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."
"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?"
@mzxinwei They are very very tiny micro holes on the top of the "fake" eyes making them able to see through. The holes would not be seen by spectators far away but if you stand just right in front of the mascot you will be able to see the tiny holes.
@iilluuvvmmll Regardless, the few who'd thought this was meant for juniors were badly mistaken when the YOG was showcased in such spectacular form. The Advertiser, an Adelaide tabloid posed this one-page one-liner , " the question on many Australian lips will be: Could we do this?" Australians are sports- crazy, so there're lots of channels that daily cater to sports. The Age, the Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun and others featured the Games in scoreboards and pictures on the YOG.
haha i was part of the formation group.. with the purple costume and all that... it might look peaceful from up there but it was chaos from down there...
@LeonNizam you said you researched on australian media. how did you gain access to australian news media? australians cannot even get close to australian media. how did you do it?
@gamecrazy132 neither did they report in all australian media - considering australia sent a big contingent and is SO CLOSE to singapore. so, one cannot imagine who else did not report it. with no satellite access for most of the yog singapore participating countries, one wonder if anyone outside singapore did report on this yog. for those who said this yog is televised widely, one wonders whether they are trying to claim credits for this yog when there is no credit to claim.
@LeonNizam if the media did report this yog so widely, how come the participating countries representing nearly half the world's peoples missed it? also, if it is so widely reported, by now, this yog should have at least half a million hits by now. why isn't that so? remember, the usa and australian people here have confirmed their media did not even think this yog was worthy of any coverage by their media. or are you like one of those who talk alot of nonsense here?
i was hoping the 3billion spent could have gone into making of made-in-singapore avatar film, probably better justify the money spent in terms of exposure and impact.

My, then 12 year old daughter, Nathania, singing the National Anthem! So proud of her! She was only 11 when it was recorded!
ongcheonghock your daughter! My goodness I saw a video just showing her in this very ceremony. She has and still has a wonderful, beautiful voice :) I almost fell out of my seat when I first heard her sing. Absolutely amazing and talented
Thank you so much for your kind words. She still loves singing and performing!
Anyone can claim to be the father of the child.
Singapore is the best place on earth!
13.17 The extinguishing of the flame was very emotional and sad with the sad tune from the trumpet.

2.50 I was part of that performance. Sigh... I miss YOG so much. The free old chang kee and curry puff... And most importantly no CCA

13:10 is the most awesomee part! Well done Singapore, I am proud to be a Singaporean.
congratulations Singapore for the job well done!
When I was watching this live those commentators spoke over every speech song or anything worth watching.
@kalsikum Indeed. The part caught me too and my tears just dropped down unconsciously.
@mzxinwei They are very very tiny micro holes on the top of the "fake" eyes making them able to see through. The holes would not be seen by spectators far away but if you stand just right in front of the mascot you will be able to see the tiny holes.

never thought that finally olympics has come to south east asia.
there was a youth olympic games? the media sure didn't think this was worthy of reporting
How I wish I could be there
hi may i know what song did Sheikh Haikel sang? and where can i get it?
haha i was part of the formation group.. with the purple costume and all that... it might look peaceful from up there but it was chaos from down there...
@LeonNizam
you said you researched on australian media.
how did you gain access to australian news media?
australians cannot even get close to australian media.
how did you do it?
@haruspringtree I saw the E was abit undecipherable but nevertheless it was still good! ♥
I was at the Trails' A. :D
Awesome ! Thanks for sharing :D
Wow i thought that our performance was a success but I never thought it was THIS good. :D
CHIJSTC WE'VE DONE WELL. ♥♥
@tristanpv yes very beautiful country
what's the song at 5:10?
@LeonNizam no they didnt, well not in the U.S. at least
@gamecrazy132
neither did they report in all australian media - considering australia sent a big contingent and is SO CLOSE to singapore.
so, one cannot imagine who else did not report it.
with no satellite access for most of the yog singapore participating countries, one wonder if anyone outside singapore did report on this yog.
for those who said this yog is televised widely, one wonders whether they are trying to claim credits for this yog when there is no credit to claim.
Never been to Singapore
is the flame real?
@LeonNizam
if the media did report this yog so widely, how come the participating countries
representing nearly half the world's peoples missed it?
also, if it is so widely reported, by now, this yog should have at least half a million
hits by now.
why isn't that so?
remember, the usa and australian people here have confirmed their media did
not even think this yog was worthy of any coverage by their media.
or are you like one of those who talk alot of nonsense here?
cool! :)
