Dear ST reader,
Last Sunday, the World Aquatics Championships brought a mixture of happiness and relief for Singapore national swimming coach Gary Tan, as he watched the women’s 4x100m medley relay team etch their names into the record books by qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Next, golfer Shannon Tan’s world has changed dramatically after her historic win on the Ladies European Tour. Much of her success comes from the sacrifices and support of her parents, who quit their jobs and moved to Australia to help her achieve her dreams.
Finally, wushu exponents Jowen Lim and Vera Tan share their love of their sport and each other in this Valentine’s Day special podcast with my colleague Deepanraj Ganesan.
See you again next week. For the latest news on Singapore sports, check out ST Sport on Instagram.
