Athens 2010 Youth Olympics Bid is the official bid of Athens in order to host the first Youth Olympics. The Athens bid is one of the strong favourites as the Ancient Olympics started here, the Modern Olympics did as well. Athens was the host of the 1896 Summer Olympics the 2004 Summer Olympics and seven IOC Sessions. As stated on their website, Athens is eager to host the Games not only to utilize their state of the art venues, but to establish the Youth Olympics in the "birthplace" of the Modern and Ancient Games.〔(Why Athens )〕 Athens has sentiment on its side, as well as all the recently built venues from 2004. ==Venues and infrastructure== The Athens 2010 Youth Olympic Games sport competitions will be held in existing venues, with only one exception, which is a stadium currently under construction. The Games will be organised in two clusters. Ten venues surround the Youth Olympic Village in Aghios Andreas, a spectacular setting on the Aegean coast where media stayed during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Athletes will be able to enjoy comfortable, modern accommodation next to the beach with all the amenities for relaxation and cultural activities right on their doorstep. The other ten main venues lie in the city centre, based around the Olympic Sports Complex. The Opening Ceremony will take place in the Olympic Stadium and the striking Panathinaiko Stadium, dating back to 1896, will be the venue for the Closing Ceremony. Ancient Olympia will host the shot put and beach-format wrestling. Athletes competing in other events will have the opportunity to travel to Olympia to watch the competitions and to be inspired by the Olympic history all around them. Existing infrastructure, including airport, roads, public transport and telecommunications fully meet the requirements of the operations and services to be provided. Athens also benefits from the tremendous legacy of human expertise from 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Athens bid for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
