Athletes from sports like Silat, Badminton and Cue Sports were among those spotted at the Welcome Back Ceremony (pictured) for Team Singapore on their return from the 25th Laos SEA Games on Saturday (Dec 19).
Friends & Families
They were warmly received and cheered by some 200 friends and families at Changi Airport. Chef de mission Jessie Phua was beaming following the strong perfomance of our athletes who won 33 golds, 30 silvers and 35 bronzes.
Star Performers
Among the star performers were swimmers Quah Ting Wen, Tao Li and Lynette Lim; discus thrower James Wong; padders Feng Tianwei and Gao Ning; shooters Zhang Jin and Jasmine Ser; Silat exponent Rabiatul Adawiyah Bte Yusak; and the water polo team. For many of the athletes, the Christmas and New Year holidays could not have come at a better time. They are looking forward to a break from all the training and competition after the intensity of the SEA Games.
