The flame of Youth Olympic Games arrived in Seoul on its final stop on a 13 day tour of all five continents, before go to Singapore which the head of global event for young athletes.
Ser Miand ng, who is the chairman of Youth Olympic committee Games said “Youth Olympic Games aim at teaching athletes from a youth ages.”
Before Youth Olympic Games come to Seoul in Korea, the flame traveled to Berlin in Germany, Auckland in New Zealand and also Mexico.
From August 14 to 26, more than 5,000 athletes from all over the World will compete in 26 categories.
This will be the first global sport that mixed genders and nationalities in the same team.
In my opinion, it is a good idea to have Youth Olympic Games, because it can teach about sportsmanship. Young athletes can learn about many cultures, because this time is the first time that will mix nationalities in the same team.
