Just yesterday, I witnessed the Youth Olympic Games torch relay in Hwa Chong. Today, I shall be talking about my feelings during that time.
At first, it was rather boring as we had to wait really long for the torch to arrive. However, I was excited as I have never seen an olympic torch up close before. After what seemed like eternity, the torch finally arrived. It was carried by one of the runners together with others and they ran up to the clock tower, down the slope, to the Junior College section and finally back to Gate 3. Among the runners were national basketball players Russell and Jabez. As my CCA is basketball, I really hope to be able to be like them one day.
As for my opinions on the Youth Olympic Games, I feel that Singapore is really lucky to be the country to host the very first Youth Olympic Games. This will definitely boost Singapore's popularity and increase the number of tourists. However, I also feel that the Youth Olympic Games will most probably not be as popular as the actual Olympic Games. Nevertheless, it is still a good chance for us to go down there and support our country!
