Singapore is sending its largest delegation to the Games so far, with 431 athletes competing across 32 sports.
Among the contingent are five climbers and five skaters who said their journey to the Games has been exciting but tough, citing a lack of local competition and facilities.
He said a more vibrant climbing scene in Singapore can boost the standards of competitive climbers, adding he hopes the Games can bring more awareness to the sport and inspire more Singaporeans to head to climbing walls. National speed skater Ng Ping Siang said being part of this historic delegation holds special meaning.
This means the team has to train overseas, such as in South Korea, where the skaters have been preparing for the Games since April. “Skating is a relatively new sport in Singapore. We are a very new team and we are going up against skaters who have been doing this competitively for more than 15 years. So the gap of skills is definitely there, but we will try our best,” he told CNA938’s Asia First.
