I was watching with a pounding heart over the tough final game between Singapore's Feng Tianwei and South Korean's Park Mi-young for a fight to advance to the women’s team final in Table Tennis.
The best-of-five team format consists of 2 singles, a doubles, followed by 2 more singles if necessary. Every player will have to feature in at least one singles match if the tie goes all the way. Team work is thus a vital play.
Looks of fatigue and happiness, the Table Tennis team of Singapore (L-R) Wang Yuegu, Feng Tianwei, coach Liu Guodong and Li Jiawei.
And we finally won with three matches to two in the best-of-five contest; round of cheers can be heard in my neighbourhood as Feng closes the tense final match with a win at 1810hrs.
Today thus marked a red letter day in Singapore Sports history!
Now we've all got to watch if it will be Silver or Gold, this Sunday evening.
And Singapore flag would be raise as our anthem plays.
"The ball is round." as Jiawei always quote. Anything could happen on the actual ground, regardless of your World placing. Put up a good fight Team Singapore, cos Anything is Possible.
Fingers crossed XXXX.
