Our Paralympic Athletes have done our country proud. Without much fuss over the issue of monetary awards and their nationality, these unsung heroines have won our country 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 brone medals. And that trumped our able-bodied athletes’ pathetic one silver medal.

Here’s the record:

Also, Yip hold the world record for both the swimming events – 57.04s for 50m freestyle and 57.92s for 50m backstroke respectively.

Let us congratulate these daughters of Singapore for doing us all proud… even prouder than our Summer Olympic team ever could. It certainly showed the world that we Singaporeans are made of sterner stuff and not everyone of us are a bunch of whiners!
