NYCD 2012 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Well , I would be an idiot not to surport my own country So yeah , my vote goes to S'pore.
cfm Jeremie Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 I voted Singapore because as a young, "small" country, it seems it would be a great symbol for the YOG to start in Singapore. I would be equally happy with Moscow and Athens though.
BABYLON Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 Darfur!! I just love your comments! Well, Darfur can't make it! by 2010, the whole population there will be killed of!
Tanaka_Ray Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 I think the honours should go to Athens, Singapore is my second choice, but Singapore even withdrawn their chance to be SeaGames host in 2011 with the reason because their stadium is not ready yet, so why we choose Singapore for 2010 YOG ? I prefer Singapore be the host for 2014 !! 2010 should go to Athens
cael_kl Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 i chose Singapore, the obvious choice... i wonder why did KL bid for the Games actually seeing their evaluation so poor... suppose didn't have to bid, i sensed it all from the early days that they will not make it and i think they just wanted to collect some experience in answering the questionaire from ioc.... maybe want to bid later... i think... but KL just missed the short cut right? no 6.... heh.
baron-pierreIV Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 None. It's a dumb, boring idea.
Jim856796 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Posted November 28, 2007 I don't even want Singapore or Turin winning the First Youth Olympics, so I have to choose between Athens, Bangkok, and Moscow.
olympiaki-agones Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 Definitely Athens, then for the second edition would be great to see Singapore.
Filipe_Golias Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Athens... so that Greece gets satisfied for another 100 years
gt2313a Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Bangkok, because that city is the most FUN to visit, though I wouldn't want to drive there! Unless someone can verify that Moscow is more fun -- never been there.
james Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 I would have loved Singapore to win. As long as NYCD2010 is living in Singapore, I would want Moscow to win. Hahaha...
Soaring Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Singapore, then Athens..... I think Athens will get it.
Guardian Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 So, the IOC wants to cut the number of finalist cities down further, huh? Well, I am still torn between Athens and Singapore to get the first YOG, but I bet these 2 cities will be in the ballot for sure.
huaiwei Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I think the honours should go to Athens, Singapore is my second choice, but Singapore even withdrawn their chance to be SeaGames host in 2011 with the reason because their stadium is not ready yet, so why we choose Singapore for 2010 YOG ? I prefer Singapore be the host for 2014 !! 2010 should go to Athens While the SEA Games will definitely need the new Singapore Sports Hub, it is not crucial (of even discouraged) as per the YOG's requirements. If the stadium is indeed a major issue, Singapore's scores for infrastructure would fair badly in the first evaluation, which did not happen. Ironically, it scored the worse in the Games Village instead!
enoch Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 I voted for Singapore, precisely because their concept is good. My next choice would be Moscow and then Athens.

Well, I am still torn between Athens and Singapore to get the first YOG, but I bet these 2 cities will be in the ballot for sure. Since the IOC is voting via mail, there should only be one round of voting; so I think you are correct, the IOC is likely to send two cities to the IOC Session. (Although I think Singapore and Moscow would make it to the final ballot).
Kaufy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 Voted for Bangkok. But I don`t care who wins.
Scotguy Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 I think Athens will win. The reasons being that: 1. The home of the Ancient Olympics and the first Modern Olympics would be a obvious choice for the first Youth Olympics 2. The venues are all there in place, from the 2004 Olympics, most are not getting used, so are ready

But maybe its right that third world countries like Thailand can host as well.
Kaufy Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 bad choice of words. Not third world but underdeveloped.

The YOG is a brand new idea and I think it would be a much more powerful symbol for them to start in Singapore a youthful country rather than in Athens. BTW, the bid with most venues already existing is Moscow.

BTW, the bid with most venues already existing is Moscow. Yes it is a new idea, but it still carries the Olympic name, will have the IOC voting for its hosts and will probably have the Olympic Flame as its main symbol lit evey 4 years or so. Therefore Athens has to be considered favourite, on sentimental and traditional reasons. Remember the centenial games in 1996, bad choice for host. Plus i didnt say that Athens had the most venues. I said that they were all in place due to the games in 2004, plus they will be more newwer than most of Moscows. Singapore, of course is a newer country than Athens, but that is not a valid argument in a reason for awarding the games to them, it is about the athletes, venues, transportaion, economy, finance, investment and legacy
