Nice to win after a Long gap.Though the Singapore players are basically from China(Born,broughtup and trained in China)
Why does it matter where they were born, brought up or trained. My Grandfather and Father and many others were from China and emigrated to Singapore, does that mean they are less Singaporeans than the rest us?
We should just stand up, go wild with ecstacy and thank them for winning a medal for Singapore. Not to forget all the other participants in Team Singapore who gave their best for Singapore.
I love Singapore and I am happy for this medal. Congratulations from Spain.
