Quah Zheng Wen is the reigning Sportsboy of the Year. The 19-year-old was Singapore's most bemedalled athlete at the 2015 SEA Games, winning 12 medals. A versatile swimmer, he is the second Singapore athlete (after Joseph Schooling) to be granted long-term deferment from national service. He won two bronzes at the Dubai World Cup last year.

Former Singapore Swimming Association coaching director John Dempsey once called Quah Ting Wen "the most talented 11-year-old" he had ever seen. Her breakout meet was the 2009 SEA Games where she won five golds. Her career suffered in 2011 when she broke her left forearm while surfing in the US, forcing her to miss the 2012 Olympics. She has since recovered and won four golds at the 2015 SEA Games.

The Commonwealth Games shooting champion came into the sport relatively late, picking it up only when she joined it as a co-curricular activity in junior college. But her talent for the sport meant she was earmarked for the national team soon after. She won a Commonwealth Games gold in 2014 in her pet 10m air pistol event, and a bronze at the Rio de Janeiro leg of the World Cup this year.

He partnered Sherman Cheng to win at the 2006 and 2010 Asiad, as well as the 2010 world championships.

Amanda Ng tried in vain to qualify for the Olympics in 2012 in windsurfing but a switch to the women's 470 worked wonders. Ng, a SEA Games women's mistral bronze medallist, and partner Jovina Choo edged out two other pairs to qualify for the Rio de Janeiro Games.

Khng, a girls' Optimist world champion in 2006, came out of a two-year break in 2012 to begin qualifying for the Olympics. She and partner Sara Tan partly funded their campaign by holding wine auctions and selling cupcakes. A ticket to Rio is reward for the two-time SEA Games gold medallist, who endured heartbreak in 2006 as the only Singapore sailor to return from the Asian Games without a medal.

Her lanky figure makes Sara Tan a natural choice for crew, and has found herself on the winning side of several successful double-handed dinghy partnerships. She was a silver medallist on the 420 with Jovina Choo at the 2007 SEA Games, then a gold medallist on the 470 with Dawn Liu, and also won gold at the SEA Games last year with Griselda Khng on the 49erFX.

She was ranked as high as No. 4 on the world junior rankings and has counted former world champion Ratchanok Intanon among those she has previously defeated. The Rio Games will be her Olympic debut.

While he did not qualify for last year's SEA Games, he has improved by leaps and bounds this year, clocking a personal best of 10.62 to earn the athletics wildcard to the Rio Olympics.
