Singapore, most of the time known as the little red dot on the map, returns from the commonwealth games held in New Delhi with 31medals. 65 athletes done the country proud and achieved a record of 31 medals consisting of 11 gold, 11silver, and 11bronze. I believe that it was not an easy feat and that great efforts and time were contributed by the participants, coaches and instructors.
Through the Commonwealth games, athletes pushed themselves to their limits and gained a whole new experience, outside of their home country, where they were trained strictly to have discipline, teamwork, leadership qualities and others. In addition, the commonwealth games encourages and gives chances to those who have a passion for sports to step forward, and to excel. As mentioned in the article, participants have out-performed themselves and some have even set their sights on the olympics, which I feel that it is something that is very commendable.
In conclusion, I feel that Singapore has proven herself to be more than just a little red dot on the map and should continue to move forward globally.
