SHAG




So up for Youth Commonwealth Championships, short update. Went in Suntec ICC, met up and shocked to see so many fierce opponents, all bigger and more experienced with 10+ years or 5+ onwards of training. Bound to lose, knew the outcome, imagine a 2month - trained versus a years-trained wrestler ._. but we were determined to get experience and get inspired to train more. Was up at the 50kg with an Indian, Pakistani, Australian and South African. Lost all though, 3 by points, and 1 by pinfall, (S,K and KJ)lost by pinfalls mostly /heh. Though our Team didn't received much cheers(volunteers were working and some cheering for the other teams I guessed), managed to do quite well, though we were far way off from the other experienced Teams.

Was able to last the longest among the 3 team mates, managed to shoot in a high crotch but failed to cover up. The two other team-mates, Natasha and Aloysius did very very well, doing thier best but did not manage to clinch medals, but so far, I think Team Singapore managed to do a job well done, as Wrestling is a very new sports introduced. Hope we will train hard enough for YoG, better prepared by then and can win some medals. Some of the matches were exciting, especially my opponent, the South African guy pulled off a 5point Arch suplex, everybody was standing up and clapping.

etcetc, and yeah. Thanks to WFS for the experience, and will defenitly resume training and train hard enough for YoG! Thanks to the Organizing Commitee and the IOC/Volunteers. Thanks to Coach and Gab and the rest! Thanks everyone for the wishes too.
