The obscure sports that made it to the SEA Games

Arnis, vovinam, kenpo: Do these obscure sports add a regional flavour to the SEA Games? Or are they pointless distractions that serve only as boosts of the host nations in the medal tally table? It is a debate that has dogged the biennial Games ever since it decided to include non-Olympic sports into its sporting programme since the 1970s.

Top-performing Singapore athletes at the SEA Games

Over its 60 years of participation, the Republic has seen its share of outstanding athletes. Some dominated their sports, while others were trailblazers in less-popular sports. Here are the top-performing Singapore athletes in their respective sports at the SEA Games.

COMMENTARIES

SEA Games hosts must not drop the ball on athletes again

One hopes the current organisational troubles will ease once the SEA Games proper begins, with enough officials and volunteers present to better solve the logistical problems that will inevitably arise. It is the least they can do to ensure that every athlete has a fair chance to perform at peak condition.

'Kuching kurap' SEA Games? I'll take it over bloated Olympics

Go ahead, ridicule the SEA Games as a ‘kuching kurap’ event, insignificant and half-baked. Just know that you will miss out on a lot of quirky fun which you will not experience at the bloated Olympics.

It's time to stop calling football Singapore's national sport

Call it a national pastime, a national hobby, even a national recreation. But it’s time to stop calling football the “national sport of Singapore” – at least until it has climbed out of its current doldrums.
