Paris Olympics a platform for Singapore’s athletes to build on, learn to land ‘winning touch’: Top sports official

“We are very, very proud of all our athletes’ hard work, determination, fortitude, and especially their indomitable fighting spirit that they have displayed during these Games,” he said.

At a big stage such as the Olympics, one has got to get their act together at the “very moment” and it is “very, very difficult”, he acknowledged.

“This is not to find an excuse for any of the performances that athletes have or have not done. I firmly believe that in their hearts, they are convicted to do their very best,” he explained.

“I’m pretty sure that this particular campaign will spur them to do much more and much better and to be the best version of themselves that they have not already discovered.

“So I’ll just say that we have done what we can, the athletes have done what (they) can. We are still very proud of each and everyone … let’s continue to celebrate and support (them).”

He added that the current cohort of athletes will inspire the next generation.

“Our every success stands on the shoulders of past winners,” he said. “I’m pretty sure that these performances here inspire the younger ones … We will continue to work to review how we can sharpen the performances.”
