Singapore has won the first ever Olympic medal ever since our independence in 1965. Thanks to the table tennis trio, we've broken the 48 year wait for this medal...
As usual, there's a lot of discussions about being Singaporean and Singapore citizens, about importing sporting talent and all that...
yet I'm sure a lot lies behind each of their decisions to come to Singapore... and this was actually covered in a China CCTV program that interviewed Li Jia Wei and Feng Tian Wei and traced their table tennis journeys right from their childhood...

very inspiring... and definitely makes me wonder that despite all the glory they have brought back, we as Singaporeans have never seen this side of their stories...
