Blazing strongly under the burning sun at East Coast Park Xtreme Skate Park today was the Youth Olympic Flame. The second day of the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame brought the torch to the South East district of the island.
Turning up the heat a notch were torch bearers Ian Krempl, 22, champion BMX and mountain bike rider, and Muhammad Firdaus, 23, Singapore’s number one skateboarder.
The two biggest names in the local extreme sports scene Ian Krempl and Muhammad Firdus bear Singapore’s Youth Olympic Torch.

Ian’s supportive and bubbly mother, Rosalyn Chua (right), 62, beams as she witnesses her son’s glorious moment with the torch. She said, “It’s just wow! He’s my one and only son.”
For brothers, Naylin Al, 10 and Dinesh Al, 12, seeing the Olympic Flame was a thrilling and unique experience for them. Naylin told WhyOhGee, “It is very exciting for me as it is my first time seeing the Olympic torch. I think it’s cool!”
Ummm… Don’t even ask for a custom torch carrying bracket for your Killswitch… not gonna happen.
