TOKYO - "I am so tired!" Singapore table tennis player Yu Mengyu tells The Straits Times at the Olympic Village on Friday afternoon (July 30), but behind the mask and declaration is a laugh and a ring of joy.
The day before, the 31-year-old lost the women's singles semi-final and bronze-medal play-off, then had to go for a drug test after. She did not get to leave the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium till after midnight and slept only at 2.30am.
