Dear ST reader,
National fencer Amita Berthier, 23, will be making her second outing at the Olympics after qualifying for the Paris Games on March 17. The three-gold SEA Games champion secured her spot via her individual ranking points.
Next, staging the 2026 Commonwealth Games may not make sense for Singapore, experts said, citing reasons such as high costs and a tight timeline.
