Dear ST reader,
From the court to the pool and every arena in between, the SEA Games have delivered intense battles and races, with sprint queen Shanti Pereira’s historic double-double a highlight for Team Singapore.
While the swimmers lost their dominance of several events, there were also feats. Quah Ting Wen became the biennial meet’s most bemedalled athlete, Gan Ching Hwee took another step towards a rare triple-triple and Letitia Sim claimed a hat-trick of breaststroke titles.
Finally, say “sawadee kup” to Thailand Kamthong, a Thai superfan who changed his name to his country’s. He has been a ubiquitous figure in the stands, cheering Thailand’s athletes.
