Singapore's Olympic Win Augurs Well for T&T

Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC)President Larry Romany believes the selection of Singapore as host city of the first (2010)Summer Youth Olympic Games augurs well for T&T and other smaller National Olympic Committees.

"It is not beyond the realm of possibility that T&T could one day host a summer Youth Olympic Games. It is a wonderful concept(Youth Olympic Games) and Dr. Rogge(IOC President) has to be commended for championing the idea. We (TTOC) have included both the Commonwealth and the Olympic Youth Games as important events in our development pathway" said Romany.

According to Romany Singapore Sport and the TTOC share a similar vision for the role of sport. "Singapore has big ambitions for sport. I am excited and happy for them, their success and determination should inspire and motivate us." added Romany.

The TTOC is preparing a team to participate at the Commonwealth Youth Games which will be held in Pune, India later this year.
