CLEAN SWEEP FOR SINGAPORE IN THE MIXED DOUBLES TABLE TENNIS! For real! Table tennis is no doubt Singapore's best sports in decades, after bringing in foreign talent and finding new local ones. It was a close shave for bronze, but Singapore managed to sneak past Australia. In other great CG table tennis news, Singapore once again managed a 3 out of 4 in the women's singles semifinals. It could have been an all Singaporean-affair if not for a tight match which eventually saw Australia win to advance to the semifinals. Can Singapore repeat a clean sweep? Let's hope and cheer! Also, 2 out of 4 women's doubles are also from Singapore. Wee! However, there aren't similar news for men's table tennis. No paddlers to represent the city-state in men's singles, but there's one team in the doubles semifinals.
Malaysia has been doing very well, with some unexpected podium finishes. Definitely more medals to come for Malaysia with the badminton finals. Canada seem to be everywhere winning medals but are still stuck in third.
Speaking of table tennis, me and some friends are going to play ping-pong next Friday. Aisha actually wanted it today, but I had to come home and do my laundry. Besides, I need time to power up! LOL.
