YOG: How much do you know?
![]() When? 14th to 26th August 2010-07-28 ![]() A third of Nanyang Technological University's hostels was set aside as accommodation for athletes and officials, the Youth Olympic Games Village. Broken up into two sections, the Residential Zone and Village Square where the Cultural and Educational Programme (CEP) would be held. It is through the CEP that the IOC hopes to impart the values of Olympism the youths so that they will grow up with the values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect. ![]() Currently, the Youth Olympic torch is in the hands of the Mexicans and will be making its way down under to Auckland, New Zealand. The Youth Olympic torch takes its design inspiration from fire and water. Fire representing the youth's passion and burning desire to learn and excel, blazing the trail in life. Water represents Singapore, with its origins as a seaport; and the vibrant and dynamic nature of Singapore as an island city-state. Once the torch is lit in Olympia, Greece, it must remain lit throughout the games until the closing ceremony hence a safety lantern was constructed to "preserve" the flame. At the start of each relay day, the Youth Olympic Flame is taken from the safety lantern to light the torch. At the end of the day, the Flame from the torch is transferred to the safety lantern for safeguarding. A number of safety lanterns are kept alight in the event where the flame goes out. ![]() Have we got your attention? in2it.sg will be providing you with exclusive interviews with the athletes and insights to the games!
