Singapore has attained remarkable results as compared to the previous Commonwealth games which was held in Australia, Melbourne during 2006. During then, Singapore was placed 11th, achieving 5 gold, 6 silver and 7 bronze medals, which totals up to 18 medals. However, Singapore has now attained 11 gold, 11 silver and 9 bronze, summing to an outstanding figure of 31 medals, thus achieving almost twice the amount as compared to the previous Commonwealth games.
Furthermore, I believe that this remarkable results is able to push more athletes to aim higher and attain more unimaginable results. Such example would be from one of the atheletes, forty-two-year-old Gai Bin who has scored 3 gold medals, said that he has his eyes on the Olympic Games, I believe that people like him are able to motivate the younger generations to aim higher despite his age.
I believed that the Olympic Pathway Programme (OPP) that was launched previously was successful as it has shown outstanding results from the athletes who went for the Commonwealth games in New Delhi. In addition, the OPP is currently selecting a second batch of athletes in preparation for the 2016 games, which i believed that Singapore will be able to soar to a greater height as compared to before.
