Singapore’s first post-independence Olympics Medal

19 08 2008

Congratulations to our Singapore Women Table Tennis team for a group well done on Sunday. They brought Singapore out of a 48 years Olympics medal drought.

They may have lost the Gold medal to China’s team, but it was a good fight still for the silver medal.

Even though all three of them are not Singapore-born athletes, I am sure most Singaporeans are still extremely proud of their achievement when they witness our national flag being hoisted up at the prize-giving ceremony.

Well done Team Singapore!

BTW, for more Olympics updates, do visit omy’s special Beijing Olympics microsite. If you take part in the Olympics Q&A contest on the microsite, you can even stand a chance to win a travel package to Hong Kong! :)
