SINGAPORE : Singapore and Moscow are the final two cities in the running to host the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010 and the decision will be announced later this month.

In Singapore, the publicity machinery is already heating up.

The latest event took place along Orchard Road, where supporters literally took to the streets and stopped traffic.

They sang special cheers and were joined by national athletes who also penned their support.

The whole affair also involved an open top double-decker bus.

Banners and balloons were also distributed to the public at the event sponsored by Cheers.

At another event, S.League players did their for Singapore - doing a hip-hop dance routine at Plaza Singapura and joining them were FAS officials.

Over 500 businesses and organisations have also thrown their support behind Singapore’s bid.

And support came in the form of “life-sized” figurines.

29 will be displayed at seven locations in Singapore, including Orchard Road, East Coast Park and the Central Business District.

They were designed and put up by Cityneon, a company which provides exhibition and event services in Asia and the Middle East.

The S$45,000 art pieces represent Olympic Games like Table Tennis, Gymnastics, Soccer, Shooting, Track and Field and Cycling. - CNA/ch
