On Saturday, Singapore introduced a concert for young athletes from around the world to participate in the Youth Olympic Games. This is the first Olympic Youth Summer Games to be celebrated in the same tradition as the Olympic Games - the main difference is that competitors are between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. This year, 3500 athletes from more than 200 countries participated in 184 competitions in 26 sports. Here are some pictures of the first Youth Olympic Games, which will last until the closing ceremony on 26 August.

This vertical structure will be placed on Cotonou Island. This will be a watch tower and a welcome sign for visitors coming to Rio de Janine by plane and sea at the 2016 Olympic Games. The project, from Enrique, uses solar energy to pump seawater into the model using its own independent power panel during the day. Water movement will also be used to turn the turbine and generate electricity to run the system at night. Solo City Tower is an Transfinite cafe, check-in, shops and more. The elevator will take guests to the top, where it will be wonderful to see, and there will be a special platform to jump bungee jumping.
