the Europe gamble paid off

INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Château de Vidy, 1007 Lausanne, Switzerland

Dear Thiam Peng,

The first IOC Young Reporters Program in Singapore was acclaimed by many to be an overwhelming success. It was you, the Young Reporters, who made it so.

Following discussion within the IOC on how to approach the 2nd IOC Young Reporters Program, which will be held in Innsbruck, Austria, from 13-22 January 2012, we have decided that we will invest back into a select few of the Singapore Young Reporters. By doing so we will use the opportunity of Innsbruck YOG to further expand your reporting skills in a real, competitive, event environment.

It is my pleasure to advise you that you are one of the select few who has been chosen to join the 2nd IOC Young Reporters Program for 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games, Innsbruck 2012.

Depending on your chosen specialisation, you will be placed under the responsibility of a mentor, working closely with and reporting to that mentor.

With the smaller team there will be the ability for you to spend one-on-one time with your mentor.

Yours sincerely,

Anthony Edgar

Head of Media Operations

IOC Young Reporters Program
