Youth Olympic is sizzling in Singapore. Not just for the youths but for everyone. However they put in the YOUTH is to mean this event is to participate by youths only. So when the torch relay event list adults running for it, some people start to questions. Why adults run for this and not youths or young person? This question make sense to since it is YOUTH olympics. We don't see a youth running the torch relay or participate in the adult version of the Olympic. The minister explained that the running is for everyone. As the news report people disagreed, giving example, that in Star Studded events that meant for TV, you don't see an athlete going on stage to recieve or give awards. Yes this made sense. No matter how the minister explains it goes to show the organisers fail to take in common logic. It is a YOUTH event. Although the organisers are adults, it is all about the participants. YOUTH is the words. The blunders will be tagged although no one could make them change their minds.
