The canvas roof at the 3-on-3 basketball Youth Olympic Games (YOG) venue at *scape Youth Space along Orchard Road fell apart after heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon.

When contacted by Yahoo! SEA, the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC) said the incident happened at 4:20pm.

“The canvas roof in front on the sideline had given way due to heavy pooling of rainwater. Some FIBA officials and SYOGOC staff got wet but, no one was injured,” said the SYOGOC spokesperson.

“The Skills Challenge for Basketball at *scape Youth Space has been cancelled today [Tuesday] due to weather conditions. It was originally scheduled to take place from 4pm to 6pm.”

SYOGOC added that it is carrying out repairs and will provide an update on the status of the Basketball preliminaries that are scheduled for today.

*scape”s Senior Marketing Manager, Kenneth Tan, said he was aware of this incident but “couldn’t comment on it”, when contacted by Yahoo! SEA.

Earlier in the day, basketball matches were held for both boys and girls categories. 16 matches were played from 9am to 1pm.

Coverage of Singapore’s inaugural Youth Olympic Games is brought to you by students from Republic Polytechnic’s Diploma in Communication and Information Design (DCID), in conjunction with Yahoo! South-east Asia.

A properly constructed tent will not allow water pooling. Whoever is in charge of erecting the structure should hang.

in cases like these, the ppl erecting the structure & canvas often r what the gahmen refer to as 'foreign talents'

Don't u guys know civil service work by awarding tender to the lowest of a minimum of 3 quotations?

Cheaper price = cheaper standards!

This is absolute proof that VB did not lie when he said none of the venue will be a white-elephant AFTER the YOG.

What he did not say is that all will collapse by then, technically nothing will be left 'un-use', which is already proven correct in the basket ball hall!

Now back to the question on evrerybody's mind : Where and how was the $380M+ spent on, and what will be 'beneficial' to the taxpayers after the YOG ?

BTW, I never knew world-class basketball is played on half-court with 3-players each, something which I used to play when we are too young and cannot find enough players on both sides. Any more doubts YOG ius a kiddy-game event ?
