    Called up last-minute: How 14-year-old Julia Yeo helped Singapore win SEA Games gold

    At just 14, national swimmer Julia Yeo was called up at the last minute to replace an injured teammate in Singaporeโ€™s 4x100m medley relay at the SEA Games in Bangkok, with no time at all to warm up.

    Julia and her coach Jerome Teo look back on the chaos, the preparation behind it and how sheโ€™s staying grounded after a breakthrough moment.
