29 July 2010 - With 17 days more to the first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore, the local news agency, Channel News Asia (CNA), posts a poll on its website and uncovers a startling find - 90% (n=2137) are not interested in the YOG. With $387 million reportedly spent on the Games, residents in Singapore are feeling less than excited about it. Despite engaging youths from primary to universities, it appears lukewarm even before the Games makes its debut on 14 August.

Here are some screen captures taken from CNA (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/polls/index.php?id=494&ranid=1060) at 10.30PM, 29 July 2010.
