The organising committee for the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be going to the of Lausanne on Sunday to meet the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members.
said Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development, Youth and Sports, Mr Teo Ser Luck.
The Singapore team will be discussing operational issues and business platforms.
The key issues that will be discussed will be, firstly, the logistics, operational and organisational aspects, followed by the business aspect in terms of sponsorship and how we can use the YOG platform to help our companies locally. Thirdly, the international relations between the different countries – their national Olympic committees and the International Olympic Committee.
This is the first time Singapore holds such a large scale international event. this is also the first time the YOG is held. Singpapore will need to maintain a high standard in organisation and also the performance of the young sportsman.
This is also the best chance for Singapore to make her name known to the rest of the world, and other than all the attention that we get, it is really going to be a boost to the economy in terms of tourism, in terms of the advertising.
