    Messages of support continue to come in for Team Singapore athletes, including Joseph Schooling, following sad defeats in table tennis and swimming on Thursday (July 29). In a short Instagram post on Friday (July 30), the 2016 Olympic champion thanked Singaporeans for their support, saying “it means the world to me.” Read the story: https://str.sg/3UNA

    Meanwhile, in an interview with The Straits Times at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre, Schooling admitted his poor performances have stung him and said he was so upset by his race the previous night, that he does not even want to watch it replayed on video. Associate sports editor Rohit Brijnath and sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz share more.
