GERRY BRAIDEN
The city launched its bid for the event with a showcase of young talent at the Kelvingrove Museum yesterday, with double Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly endorsing the UK's entrant for the Youth Games.
It comes after London 2012 chairman and 1980s Olympic hero Sebastian Coe gave his backing for the bid.
