IOL: Singapore favourites for Youth Olympics - IOC

IOL: Singapore favourites for Youth Olympics - IOC: "Singapore should prevail in the race to win the right to host the 2010 Youth Olympics, the dreamchild of International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge, claimed a senior IOC member on Saturday.

He told AFP that while Bangkok could be eliminated as a viable candidate, Singapore fitted the bill as host because it is probably not capable of hosting senior Olympic Games - an option which Rogge himself said he preferred.

On that basis that should rule out Athens, Moscow and Turin, all of whom have hosted Olympic Games in the past.

'Singapore would appear to fit the bill,' the IOC member said."
