It is amazing how Singapore has grown in strength in terms of sports. We may be weak in soccer; but Singapore has proven that she can be competitive in shooting, table tennis and sailing, and she is growing in others sports as well. This can be seen during the recent Commonwealth Games, when Singapore did her best since first participating in 1958. This may not be Olympics, but it is enough to show that Singapore had switched to a higher gear to groom local athletics effectively. Now some people may feel that Singapore’s success in such Games are mainly due to foreigners, such as table-tennis paddlers from China. Maybe these people do not realise that local Singaporeans play a major part in these Games as well. For example, our Sailing and Shooting teams, consist of mainly Singaporeans, have been very success and competitive in the international arena.
It still remains to be seen if Singapore can be globally known as a country famous of any kind of sports. But I can confidently say, Singapore is on the right track.
