FUN FACTS

Arnis, vovinam, kenpo: Do these obscure sports add a regional flavour to the SEA Games? Or are they pointless distractions that serve only as boosts of the host nations in the medal tally table? It is a debate that has dogged the biennial Games ever since it decided to include non-Olympic sports into its sporting programme since the 1970s.

Over its 60 years of participation, the Republic has seen its share of outstanding athletes. Some dominated their sports, while others were trailblazers in less-popular sports. Here are the top-performing Singapore athletes in their respective sports at the SEA Games.

COMMENTARIES

One hopes the current organisational troubles will ease once the SEA Games proper begins, with enough officials and volunteers present to better solve the logistical problems that will inevitably arise. It is the least they can do to ensure that every athlete has a fair chance to perform at peak condition.

Go ahead, ridicule the SEA Games as a ‘kuching kurap’ event, insignificant and half-baked. Just know that you will miss out on a lot of quirky fun which you will not experience at the bloated Olympics.

Call it a national pastime, a national hobby, even a national recreation. But it’s time to stop calling football the “national sport of Singapore” – at least until it has climbed out of its current doldrums.

ATHLETE PREVIEWS

After her initial struggles in a swimming career, in which she battled confidence issues and eating disorders, world jiu-jitsu champion Constance Lien is grateful for her second chance at sporting success. Taking part in her first SEA Games, the 20-year-old hopes to eventually help other athletes better deal with emotional and mental challenges.

Most people think of bowling as an individual sport, in which the bowler bowls alone in his lane without the assistance of others. Yet national bowlers Cherie Tan and Muhammad Jaris Goh insist that retaining Singapore’s men’s and women’s team golds at the SEA Games would mean more to them than winning individual golds.

Rising table tennis talent Koen Pang, 17, has already had a stellar 2019, after becoming the first Singaporean to reach No. 1 in the world junior rankings. He hopes to win at least a medal in his first SEA Games campaign, culminating a journey he started since joining his mother and elder brother in the sport at the age of five.

Their disparate sporting journeys in mixed martial arts may not have initially included representing their nation at the SEA Games, but both Garie Tang and Nazri Sutari are now eager to return from the Games with gold medals around their necks in the combat sport of sambo.
