asian youth games 2009
So many years have singapore last hosted a sports events and I check from Wikipedia the last time we actually host a major sports event was many years ago..
SEA Games 1993..I was just a primary 3 kid.. that year.. wow..
I am happy see the interests in sports for singaporean seems to grow in past few years and we seems to perform quite ok...
In international sporting events we even breakthrough our 48 years record to win an Olympic Medal in Female Table Tennis Team Event and 5th placing in Butterfly 100m Swimming..
Since the Asian Youth Games 2009 started, I have been trying to catch the highlights of the game and the sports events that catch my mind definitely is Football...
So far the best game I have seen from the Football Tournament is between South Korea U14 VS North Korea U14.
With the quality of play from South Korea U14, from their physical strength in holding the ball, passing and the technical quality of all their goals.. specially the 3rd goal during the game..
I got a feeling that South Korea U14 will win the Football Tournament of Asian Youth Games 2009.
As for Singapore, so far we have won 2 Bronze Medal in Athletics event and finally a 1st Gold Medal in Individual Female Bowling Event... congrats to Team Singapore.
Hope.. our sports athletics will do their best and make Singapore proud.. :)
