When talking about his feelings about this Youth Olympic Games, Bach said that the venues and facilities here are first-class. Athletes from all over the world are very satisfied with the accommodation and cultural and educational activities in the Youth Olympic Village, and the volunteers are also very satisfied. All were friendly and welcoming, and "all in all, the organization worked flawlessly." Bach said that he very much appreciates the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games' insistence on the principle of "renovating but not building, repairing but not replacing, renting but not buying, and borrowing but not leasing". "I went to the BMX competition that day and someone told me that the seats here were rented from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games venues. I said, 'Congratulations, that's a great idea.'
Bach also said that Nanjing people are not only warm, hospitable and friendly, but also very efficient at work. It is precisely because of enthusiasm and efficiency that China will attract more and more major events. Nanjing's hosting of the Youth Olympic Games will once again introduce China to the world. As an opportunity to showcase itself, China can bring well-organized and particularly exciting international events to the world, so from this perspective, the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games will certainly add a lot of points to Beijing's bid to host the Winter Olympics.
