Singapore Wins Olympic Silver Medal After 48 Years!

Singapore’s Women table tennis team have really done Singapore proud!

After getting in to the women’s Olympic table-tennis finals by a close shave 3-2 match with Korea, Li Jia Wei, Wang Yue Gu and Feng Tianwei (in order of world ranking) were faced with the worlds top paddler in the Olympic host country China.

Everyone can sense the tensions and pressure on China Top and 2nd ranked players as the undisputed table tennis powerhouse battle it out with the Singapore players, whom were once in the same Peking University in China.

Too bad that once the tensions were off and the world’s No1 and No2 get into the hang of things, China supremacy tore the Singapore team apart, resulting in a 3-0 match.

Well, it was a joyous occasion as I watch the Victory Ceremony and take in the moment when the silvers were planted on Li Jia Wei, Wang Yue Gu and Feng Tianwei.

My joyous tears finally rolled out when Singapore Flag was raised in the Olympic after a 48 years medal drought ended yesterday.

Well done and congratulation! to Li Jia Wei, Wang Yue Gu and Feng Tianwei.
Not only have you put Singapore on the Olympic score board, you’ve also inspired the thousands of Singapore Athletes to go for gold!

Loud Cheers!
