In slightly over a year's time, Singapore will host the inaugural Asian Youth Games. On Monday, the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) confirmed the Games will feature eight sports - track and field, bowling, beach volleyball, three-on-three basketball, sailing, shooting, swimming and diving, and table tennis. It will be held from July 2-9. The SSC and Ministry of Education (MOE) will spearhead the organising of the Games, which will be used to help Singapore prepare for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, which it will host from August 14-26, 2010. The Asian Youth Games' opening ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Singapore Youth Festival.
Personal View :
With Singapore hosting the inaugural Asian Youth Games, the singapore representive will be able to compete with other athletes around Asia. This could help to gauge their standand against the better athletes before the Youth Olympic Games. They will be able to know their strength and withnesses and also to improve their skills. With this, Singapore will be able to bag home a few medals during the Youth Olympic Games on home ground.
