7月5日，在危地马拉召开的119次国际奥委会(IOC)会议上，国际奥委会委员投票做出决议，将创立青少年奥林匹克运动会。

据新加坡《联合早报》报道，新加坡有意申办2010年第一届青年奥林匹克运动会，目前正在“探讨申办这项运动会的可行性”。

据了解，青少年奥运会也同奥运会一样分为夏季和冬季，不过参加者的年龄都在14岁到18岁之间。首届夏季运动会将于2010年夏天举行，为期10天，参加人数为3000人，青少年冬奥会则在两年后进行，为期7天，参加人数为1000人。

第一届青少年夏季奥运会预计将于2010年举行，预计参赛运动员将达3200人，参赛运动员年龄在14岁至18岁之间，教练员和裁判员800人。第一届青少年冬奥会将会在2012年举行，预计参赛运动员达到1000人，教练员和裁判员580人。几乎所有的2010年温哥华冬奥会和2012年伦敦奥运会项目都将在青少年奥运会上上演，但是也有少数项目例外，而且也会引进一些适合青少年的新项目。

根据法新的社报道，已经有六个城市表示有意申办夏季青年奥运会，这些城市包括俄罗斯的莫斯科、墨西哥的瓜达拉哈拉、德国的汉堡、新加坡和一个美国城市。

Singapore Unveils Game Plan for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games
Singapore, 29 October 2007

The Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports today unveil Singapore’s proposals to bring the inaugural event to the country in 2010.

“The Youth Olympics will celebrate sports and promote the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect. We share these values, and believe that Singapore is a working model of these values in action. Although we are a small, young nation, we can offer first class right sized facilities for these inaugural games within the short time frame available. The fully integrated sport, education and cultural programmes will reach out to millions of youth across the world to ignite their passion for sports and unite them with these ideals.” said Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports.

Singapore’s bid is based on the nation’s capabilities to host the inaugural YOG and covers 15 themes, as required by the International Olympic Committee. These include: concept and legacy; sports and venues; the Youth Olympic Village; education and culture; marketing; political and economic climate and structure; legal aspects; customs and immigration formalities; finance; medical services and doping control; security; accommodation; transport; technology; and media operations.

Singapore will offer a unique blend of compactness and vibrancy in its sports programme and venues offering. Singapore’s compactness makes it possible for all the 26 sports such as sailing, rowing and canoeing to be held within minutes of the city centre. Apart from the venues located in the heart of the city, several other locations within the heartlands of Singapore will also be used to bring the Games to the doorsteps of the community and the people. The heartland locations include Toa Payoh Swimming Complex (Aquatics Diving), Bishan Stadium (Athletics), Tampines Bike Park (Cycling) and the Singapore Sports School (Modern Pentathlon).

The 3,500 youth athletes participating in the 2010 YOG will also be the first to occupy the National University of Singapore’s new student residential village, which will serve as the Youth Olympic Village. To be built on a 19-hectare former golf course, the pedestrian-friendly design of the Village will maximise interaction among participants and encourage friendship and multi-national community building. To this end, the Village will have the following key features:

A Residential Zone with eight colleges that can accommodate 5,000;
A Village Square with a large outdoor amphitheatre, retail stores, Internet centres, cafes and eateries, and banking and postal services;
An Operational Zone for all the YOG and Village operational and administrative support activities; and
A Transport Hub, where athletes, officials and other accredited Games personnel will access buses to get to and from all competition and non-competition venues.
Singapore’s Education and Culture Programmes (ECP) offering to the IOC will also provide an enriching and transformative experience for the international community of young athletes - before, during and after the Games. Designed and delivered by young people, the ECP will utilise the framework of ‘Learning’, ‘Contributing’, ‘Interacting’ and ‘Celebrating’ to engage and enthuse the athletes.

Even before the Games begin, Singapore will undertake to mount the following:

A Twinning Programme, which is built on existing school exchange programmes to encourage learning among youth about the people and culture of another country and to develop friendships through joint-learning websites, and friendly sporting competitions;
A Youth Olympic Sports Programme, which entails the extension of Olympic education to all secondary schools. Through this programme, students will learn about the Olympic values and at least four Olympic Sports; and
An International Youth Camp that will promote self-discovery and camaraderie among youth from participating countries.
Singapore’s proposals also pave the way for new media to be extensively used to connect youths across the globe. For YOG participants, a Digital Concierge service will provide personalised and seamless access to YOG-related information and services during the Games such as real-time updates on sporting results and ECP activities. Plans are in place to create a virtual reality version of Singapore 2010, similar to (Internet-based virtual world) ‘Second Life’ that will enable young people - no matter where they are - to experience the local venues even before the YOG officially begins.

The proposals also include the setting up of a Sports Museum and Library where visitors will be able to learn about Olympic history and about the inaugural YOG.


Six Singapore Olympic Scholarships will also be offered each year for young athletes to attend the integrated educational and sport training programme at Singapore Sports School. Five scholarship recipients will be picked from each of the five continents symbolically represented by the five rings of the Olympics, with the sixth recipient from Singapore.

According to IOC Member from Singapore, Mr. Ng Ser Miang, “The Bid Committee have worked extremely hard to put up a very strong bid. I am happy with the quality of the bid. Hosting the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore will not only ignite the passion for sports, but also leave enduring legacies in sport, education and culture for Singapore, the region and beyond – long after the Games have ended.”
