Dear ST reader,

Singapore’s most decorated para-athlete Yip Pin Xiu is not slowing down one bit, even at the age of 32. The swimmer shares some inner thoughts on her incredible journey as she prepares for her fifth Paralympic outing in Paris.

Government agency Sport Singapore has implemented a pilot scheme to set aside badminton courts at ActiveSG sports facilities for registered coaches in response to feedback following the launch of its web-based booking platform. 

Meanwhile, athletes in Singapore have welcomed the measures announced by the Government to make sport a viable and attractive career path, like higher allowances, CPF top-ups, undergraduate scholarships and post-retirement options.
