Dear ST reader,

Golfer Shannon Tan has joined a small group of Singaporean athletes in the million-dollar club in career earnings to cement her status as a trailblazer in her sport.

Compatriot Teong Tzen Wei is also in high spirits after setting an Asian record in the men’s 50m butterfly final at the Swimming World Cup in Toronto.

Finally, young Amanda Yap is having the time of her life despite a hectic schedule juggling exams and sport. Days after becoming the first Singaporean to enter an apparatus final at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, she notched a creditable sixth-place finish on the balance beam at the Jakarta meet.
