Asian Youth Games torch relay kicks off The Asian Youth Games (AYG) torch relay kicked off Sunday morning with the Community and Corporate Leg. Held over two days, day one of the relay saw the torch travel through three different routes covering five districts across Singapore. The flame lighting ceremony was held early Sunday at the Kallang Waterfront. Deputy Prime Minister and President of the Singapore National Olympic Council Teo Chee Hean was at the event. The flame then fanned out across the island in buses to arrive at the start of the three routes, named after the Olympic values of Friendship, Excellence and Respect. At Yio Chu Kang stadium, Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had the honour of being the first torch bearer to start the relay. Over at the Republic Polytechnic in the north of Singapore, other Ministers and VIPs also took part in the historic run. Said Zainudin Nordin, torch bearer and Mayor of the North District: "We want to celebrate us organising the AYG, at the same to understand that sports is a really wonderful platform for us to get to know each other and for us to bond with the people together." Shoppers and tourists caught a sight of the torch as it was carried along Orchard Road. A total of 70 torchbearers were involved in day one of the relay. The final torch bearer for the day was Sports Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, who ran from Marina Square to the Games Village at Swissotel the Stamford. The torch relay will resume on Monday for the Schools leg, with the flame travelling to 45 schools around Singapore, where over a hundred runners will have the honour of carrying the torch. Day two of the relay will resume on Monday for the Schools leg, where the flame will travel to 45 schools around the country. The relay will end at the Indoor Stadium where three athletes will run in with the torches and light the cauldron as part of the Opening Ceremony celebrations.
