2010 Summer Youth Olympics torch relay

Domestic leg
The domestic leg of the torch relay covered most of Singapore's residential areas, ending at Marina Bay on 13 August 2010. Due to Singapore's small size and road limitations and organisers wanting as many people to be a chance to be a torchbearer at the same time, each torchbearer carried the torch for the distance of about 100 m before handing to the next torchbearer. Security was stepped up in view of the torch relay incident at London in April 2008.
