SEA GAMES ROUND UP: Singapore shines in new sports, but old bugbears linger
Singapore athletes concluded the 30th SEA Games in the Philippines on Wednesday (11 December) with 53 golds, 46 silvers and 68 bronzes after 15 days of competition.
While the gold-medal tally fell short of its 57-gold showing at the 2017 Games – the Republic’s best away performance – it was nonetheless a respectable outing that placed Singapore right in the middle of the medal table among the 11 participating nations. This was also the third consecutive Games where Singapore won more than 50 gold medals, as the athletes surpassed the 900-gold all-time mark and set 15 Games records along the way.
Of course, amid the medal haul, there were dominant victories, unexpected successes and lacklustre showings. Yahoo News Singapore looks at the most significant Singapore takeaways from the Games.
