YOG new competition
FOUR new competition venues have been added to the Youth Olympics Games (YOG), replacing five others which have been dropped.
The Games organising committee on Wednesday announced that football - which features at both the YOG and the Asian Youth Games in June - will now be held only at the Jalan Besar stadium.
It replaces the Choa Chu Kang and Jurong West stadiums, which are no longer needed due to the small number of teams which will be comp Park.
Hockey will be held at Sengkang Hockey Stadium, instead of the National Hockey Stadium at Delta.
The confirmed 18 competition venues where the 26 sports for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were announced by Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Transport, during a site visit to Bishan Stadium on Wednesday.
‘Singapore won the bid to host the inaugural Youth Olympic Games because it has right-sized and excellent facilities and infrastructure,’ said Mr Goh Kee Nguan who is Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC) Chief Executive Officer.
No new venues will be built for the Games, which will be held from Aug 14 to 26. Mr Goh added that some of the present facilities will be upgraded to meet competition requirements.
The event will see some 3,600 athletes - aged between 14 and 18 years - compete in 26 sports and take part in Culture and Education Programme. Also expected are 800 officials from the 205 National Olympic Committees, about 800 media representatives, 20,000 local and international volunteers, and more than 500,000 spectators
