20 14 The voting in the host city of the 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games has entered the countdown. Nanjing's Olympic bid delegation arrived in Vancouver, the seat of the International Olympic Committee, on the 8th, and Nanjing citizens were anxiously waiting for the upcoming voting results.
The Youth Olympic Games will be held in Singapore from August 6th to 26th this year. This newly established international competition has also attracted international attention. Nanjing has become a competitive city for the host city of the 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games, representing China in international competition.
Beijing will host the Olympic Games in 2008, Shanghai will host the World Expo this year and Guangzhou will host the Asian Games. First-class cities in China compete to hold large-scale international sports events and exhibitions to attract international attention. As the capital of Jiangsu Province with the most active export-oriented economy in China, Nanjing is also looking forward to hosting such world-class high-level sports events to enhance its image and international influence. Zhu, secretary of Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, personally led a delegation to Vancouver to fight for it. Before leaving, he told the local media that a world-class sports competition has a great influence on the development of a country, especially a city. The bid to host the Youth Olympic Games will make Nanjing's economic growth more dynamic, Nanjing's urban construction more dynamic and Nanjing's international image more attractive.
Nanjing is a famous ancient capital of China, a metropolis with 8 million citizens, and a land, sea and air transportation hub in East China, with complete transportation facilities and sports facilities. In 2005, the 1st 10 Games of China was held in Nanjing, and a large number of sports facilities meeting international standards were built, which provided the conditions for holding large-scale sports events. Holding large-scale international sports events has always been Nanjing's dream and goal.
On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, the International Olympic Committee officially released the evaluation report on the bidding city for the 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games, and concluded that the competition venues in Nanjing were relatively compact and had experience in hosting large-scale events, and the bidding budget was basically consistent with the service level promised in the bidding report. Just last week, the International Olympic Committee issued a formal notice to Nanjing that Guadalajara, Mexico, withdrew from the bid, and the number of bidding cities changed from three to two: Nanjing and Poznan.
Poznan is an industrial city in Poland, which lags far behind Nanjing in terms of city size, existing site conditions and economic support capacity. Many people think that hosting the 20 14 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing is the least risky for the International Olympic Committee, and Nanjing has the best conditions.
However, Nanjing said in a low-key way: it is difficult to predict who will win in Nanjing or Poznan before the IOC122nd plenary session.
An official of Nanjing Municipal Government told reporters that the first Youth Olympic Games will be held in Singapore. According to the unwritten convention that two consecutive Olympic Games will not be held in the same continent, there is no doubt that Nanjing can successfully bid.
China people believe that to achieve great things, there must be "the right time, the right place and the right people". Compared with Nanjing, Poznan can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized city in Europe. But because in Europe, there are many geographical conditions.
So the citizens of Nanjing are anxiously waiting for the vote of 5438+0 1 in June. They hope for good news from Vancouver.

With the passage of time, ancient human footprints spread all over Nanjing today. A complete skull fossil of "Nanjing ape-man" dating from about 300,000 to 500,000 years ago was unearthed in Tangshan, the eastern suburb.
