I don't know what and how others might feel , impressed or otherwise with the closing ceremony , but , just look at the athletes enjoying themselves there perhaps the most immediate and direct testimonial of the closing ceremony, it was definitely and unquestionably a SUCCESS . SINGAPORE has did it again !!! if you agree m thumbs UP !

I LIKE THE REPLICA OF THE OLYMPIC FLAG WITH THE HIDDEN INSCRIPTION OF "SINGAPORE 2010".THANKS AND GIVE GLORY TO SINGAPORE! GOD BLESS!

HOPE THAT THE SINGAPORE FLAG WILL BE RAISED AT THE NEXT OLYMPICS IN NANJING DURING THE CLOSING CEREMONIES TO RECOGNIZE THE BIRTH OF THE YOUTH OLYMPICS IN SINGAPORE WHICH SAME AS THE GREECE FLAG WAS RAISED IN THE SENIOR OLYMPICS.

@IGNlTlON people tend to forget about this, and compare one's own country with another all the time.

With the athletes of the Olympic games enjoying what they do and being brother and sister to one another, in what they do, what they enjoy, people who do not experience it tend to forget that we're but one race, and that race is that of humanity.

Olympics is but one of the events that remind us that great happiness can be brought about when we put our differences aside and accept one another =)

@iilluuvvmmll Regardless, the few who'd thought this was meant for juniors were badly mistaken when the YOG was showcased in such spectacular form.

The Advertiser, an Adelaide tabloid posed this one-page one-liner , " the question on many Australian lips will be: Could we do this?"

Australians are sports- crazy, so there're lots of channels that daily cater to sports.

The Age, the Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun and others featured the Games in scoreboards and pictures on the YOG.

Yup. But it was mentioned shortly after that not all countries sent their best athletes.

It might not be the best YOG, but it definitely is the most emotional and touching one. Given the extremely limited time of 2 year+, it is indeed a great job done by Singapore! Furthermore, Singapore hosted the first Asian Youth Games in 2009 as well, and it is kind of rush to manage both of them. Not to mention, several major events happened in 2010; YOG, CNY + CHINGAY, NDP, F1 Night Race.
