YES, Singapore won the bid to host the first ever Youth Olympics Games (Summer) in 2010. I know for Singapore, summer doesn't mean anything to us because we have summer all year round. But in the Northern hemisphere (anywhere above the equator), summer is generally in the 3rd quarter of the year.
2010 is also the year where Vancouver is hosting the Winter Olympics Games somewhere in Feb. It'll be a great experience to be a part of this international event. Winter games are rather foreign to me, I think I'll be trill to see the snowboarding events.
I know it might be confusing- In Singapore, we are familiar with the Summer Olympic Games. the upcoming one will be host in Beijing, the most recent game was held in Athens.
Winter Olympics Games- The most recent games was held in Torino, Italy. The upcoming games will be host by Vancouver, Canada.
Summer Youth Olympics Games- First games will be proudly host by Singapore in 14th August 2010.
Winter Youth Olympics Games- First game will be host in 2012. Winning host will be announce in Dec 2008
