<Padang Party to greet Youth Olympic Games bid outcome
Wed, Feb 20, 2008
ONE more day. That is all that separates the world from knowing
whether Singapore or Moscow will host the inaugural 2010 Youth
Olympic Games (YOG).
Starting from 5.30pm on Thursday, Singaporeans can be part of The
Final Countdown party at the Padang.
The party will climax with the live satellite announcement of the
winner from the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland at
7pm.
Two giant LED screens have been put up in front of City Hall, where
the public can catch the eight-minute broadcast at 7 pm.
Over 5,000 people, dressed in red, are expected to turn up.
Festivities include performances by Asian Idol Hady Mirza and
Project Superstar winners Daren Tan and Tan Diya on the stage at
the steps of City Hall.
The result will round off over seven months of hard work by
Singapore's bid committee - work that included submitting a
comprehensive candidature file, securing financial and
infrastructural guarantees and making a presentation to the
IOC.
From nine cities in October, a shortlist of five was made in
November, then whittled down to two last month.>
To be frank, I'm more interested to know if I have won my 10
million $$ TOTO tmr.
