This SUPventures' Stand Up Paddle instructor initially picked up Stand up paddle as a form of injury rehabilitation, but ended up starting a sports and fitness community instead PHOTO: AMAR DONEPUDI, SPORTPLUS.SG A former sailor, Yurii Siegel has always loved being out at sea. What he did not count on was dealing with an unexpected curve ball life would throw at him. In 2016, Siegel cracked his L5 and tore his spine while in the gym. The injury left him out of action for many months, with the only exercise he was allowed to do being swimming and Stand Up Paddle boarding. He recounts how he realised he needed to spend more time at Stand Up Paddling in order to improve his hip alignment, and needed some extra motivation to do so. "I started working on it for about a year and I realised I needed to spend more time doing this, so I had different friends coming on different days so that I was able to go every day," Siegel said. Little did he realise that those regular sessions with different friends would lead to him starting a Stand Up Paddle community that is now about 50-strong on Sentosa Island. Known by the SUPventures community as the Chief Paddle Monster, Siegel is a hugely popular figure among children and the youth of the water sports community on Sentosa and it's easy to see why. PHOTO: AMAR DONEPUDI, SPORTPLUS.SG A cheeky and bubbly character who projects a positive outlook in life, Siegel did not let his injury or other setbacks stop him from creating a life he loves and takes pride in. When asked about the effectiveness of Stand Up Paddling for sports injury rehabilitation, Siegel not only gave it his seal of approval but strongly urges those who are unable to participate in sports or workouts with pressure on the joints to consider Stand Up Paddling. "If you are unable to do traditional sport or popular variations of workouts, Stand Up Paddle could actually be for you," Siegel said. PHOTO: AMAR DONEPUDI, SPORTPLUS.SG "It strengthens up the core without putting too much pressure on the joints, and if you have ankle injuries or ankle mobility issues those shallow movements helps to strengthen everything around it." Stand Up Paddling is the fastest growing sea sport according to a report by the Singapore Canoe Federation, and has gained traction in recent years, particularly after the lockdown from Covid-19 that limited opportunities for people to travel overseas. "People love it because it allows them to go out in nature and leave their cell phones behind," Siegel added. "On a nice day when you head out, you might see turtles, a random stingray, or a blacktip reef shark. It's kind of like a kayak but you are a bit higher and it gives you a very different perspective." PHOTO: AMAR DONEPUDI, SPORTPLUS.SG Looking to try out Stand Up Paddling?

Kim Shin-Wook nets brace on debut including a spectacular volleyed winner to help last year's Singapore Premier League champions to the first piece of silverware this season PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE 20 February 2022, Singapore - In a tightly contested affair at the Jalan Besar Stadium, the Lion City Sailors emerged victorious in the Singapore Premier League’s annual curtain raiser despite being without the services of several players competing in the AFF U-23 Championship. The 983-strong crowd waited with bated breath as both sets of players walked out in the sweltering Saturday evening heat. It had been four months since the 2021 SPL season concluded, and fans were eager to watch two of the league’s top teams face off in the unofficial season opener. Albirex went through an eventful winter break, bringing back former SPL-winning manager Kazuaki Yoshinaga. Apart from goalkeeper Takahiro Koga, 22, and Singaporean Hilman Norhisam, 17, the rest of the starting 11 were mostly made up of fresh-faced Japanese university graduates. It was also the first sighting of the Sailors’ marquee signing Kim Shin Wook, 33, as well as Albirex’s new acquisition; former Southampton striker Tadanari Lee, 36. Kim, who is believed to be on a three-year deal worth more than $3 million, played an influential role in Ulsan Hyundai’s Asian Champions League triumph in 2012. The 1.98m-tall striker was also a part of South Korea’s 2018 World Cup Finals 23-man squad. PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE Lee has 11 international caps for Japan, famously scoring the winning goal in the 2011 Asian Cup final. The skillful forward also won Southampton’s Goal of the Season award during the 2011/12 season when the Saints were competing in the EFL Championship. The Korean and Japanese duo gave anticipating spectators their moneys’ worth, sharing all three goals between them in an exhilarating contest. After a cagey start to proceedings, it was Lee who drew first blood in the 14th minute, drawing a foul from Sailors’ stalwart Shahdan Sulaiman which led referee Jansen Foo to point to the spot. PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE Advantage Albirex There were audible groans from the home supporters but the Japanese international kept his cool to tuck his spot-kick away, giving Albirex the early advantage. The White Swans kept up their pressure, nearly doubling their lead when defender Keito Hariya headed a whipped cross from winger Masaya Idetsu against the crossbar. Moments later, it was Albirex’s industrious left-back Daichi Omori’s turn to deliver a tantalising cross into the 6-yard area which narrowly evaded an onrushing Lee. The Sailors endured a frustrating spell without possession, with Kim fortunate to avoid a booking following a late tackle on Omori at the half-hour mark. PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE Sailors Draw Level However, despite a quiet first 40 minutes, the Korean forward was central when the tides turned in favour of the Sailors. Kim used his towering frame to nod a looping cross from defender Tajeli Salamat over a hapless Koga, who was caught in no man’s land. Against the run of play, both sides were level at the half-time break with all to play for. The reigning champions took the initiative right from the restart, introducing combative midfielder Anumanthan Kumar, who immediately fired a powerful drive from 30-yards out over the bar. Shortly after, Sailors’ winger Faris Ramli used his nifty footwork to get down the byline, delivering a perfectly weighted cross for Kim to flash a volley narrowly over the bar. Appeals for an Albirex handball from a Sailors freekick were swiftly waved away by the referee before defender Iqram Rifqi’s cross was headed straight into the palms of Koga by Kim again. PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE False Dawn for the White Swans The White Swans managed to break the Sailors’ onslaught momentarily in the 58th minute. Substitute Yoshiki Matsuura beat the offside trap to send a low cut-back towards Lee, whose first-timed close-range effort was smartly parried by custodian Hassan Sunny. Albirex continued to threaten with two dangerous crosses in quick succession from left-back Daichi Omori, somehow evading every orange shirt in the penalty box on both occasions. A scathing challenge from Kim on defender Keito Hariya in the 74th minute resulted in the first and only yellow card of the game. Sailors manager Kim Do Hoon played his trump card thereafter, replacing midfielder Adam Swandi with midfield maestro Diego Lopes. The $3 million Brazilian signing turned out to be the provider for Kim’s winning goal in the 86th minute. PHOTO: AIA SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE Acrobatic Winner The Korean forward connected perfectly with Lopes’ dinked cross, leaping into the air to set up a delightful scissor-kick volley which sent the home fans into raptures. That acrobatic finish was enough for eventual man-of-the-match Kim to have the last laugh over Lee, as the Sailors saw out the remaining minutes to be crowned winners of the Shield. In an event that likely served as a precursor for the 2022 SPL season, fans can certainly expect more to come from the duo in what could potentially be a closely contested Golden Boot battle. Speaking after the match, coach Kim said, “I’m proud of the boys for giving it their all for the 90 minutes. We know we have never beaten Albirex in a game before and I’m proud of the aggressiveness and confidence the players put in. I hope this will give us a good start to the league next week.” Kim Sings Praises of Sailors Youth When quizzed on the adjustment to the U-23 ruling this season, coach Kim was lavish in praise for his young players. “The young boys in the team have been training very hard. It’s healthy competition. We will try our best to help them develop. A lot of my boys are very disciplined and humble. If they continue training hard, they will become important players for the future of Singapore football,” he added. Albirex coach Yoshinaga marked his return to Singapore with a rare defeat, but he was happy with the effort shown from his players. “I think everyone is able to challenge themselves further after this game. We are working with a new group of players and I’m sure they will improve over the course of the season,” he said. Albirex are four-time SPL champions, but barely lost last season’s league title to the Sailors by a margin of two points. They will begin their 2022 campaign with the league’s season opener against Tanjong Pagar United on 25th February. The Sailors will launch their title defence at home to Hougang United next Sunday, on 27th February at the Jalan Besar Stadium. #SportPlusSG #Football #SingaporePremierLeague #SingaporeFootball

Scintillating offensive displays see Team Seafood top the East Zone Group A charts on Opening Day in the U19 Boys Category PHOTO: LIM WEE TAY, KIN PRODUCTIONS 20 February 2022, Singapore - The ActiveSG Cup 2022 basketball 3x3 competition got off to a mouth-watering start at ActiveSG Pasir Ris Sport Centre in a group that witnessed "The Battle of Food Names". Team Seafood took on Charcoal Waffle, in a clash that saw Seafood coming out as 12-7 winners to continue their fine run in Group A on the opening day of the ActiveSG Cup 2022 Basketball East Zone Competition. PHOTO: LIM WEE TAY, KIN PRODUCTIONS Record Winning Margin Coming into this match high on confidence having set the record for the largest win margin of the East Zone Qualifiers (they defeated Siglap CSC E 21-3), Team Seafood were hungry for more but had to contend with a stubborn Charcoal Waffle rearguard that did not make it easy for them. Team Charcoal Waffle on the other hand, suffered consecutive defeats and were looking to rediscover their winning form, in what was the fourth and penultimate match of the day in Group A of the U19 Boys category. As with their previous matches, Team Seafood was quick off the blocks and raced into an early lead of 6-4 in the first half of the 10-minute match. Though momentum shifted temporarily in favour of Charcoal Waffle early in the second half as they narrowed the points gap, the early leaders quickly wrestled back control and re-established their advantage on the board. PHOTO: LIM WEE TAY, KIN PRODUCTIONS Dominating Possession Dominating possession of the ball for most of the match, Seafood opted for a more offensive strategy, leaving Charcoal Waffle with little choice but to strengthen their defenses. Despite the comfortable winning margin for Team Seafood, the match was one that was closely fought. Reflecting on it afterwards, Chace Ng from Team Seafood said: “The match was one of the toughest of the four games we’ve played because I think [Charcoal Waffle] are quite well trained and they’re very fast.” Similar thoughts were expressed by Charcoal Waffles’ Beck Low, who said: "It was definitely a tough match, I would say our opponents are tip-top and a lot more experienced and a lot more skilled than us, but I think we showed great fighting spirit." PHOTO: LIM WEE TAY, KIN PRODUCTIONS "We want to bounce back and hopefully end the day on a high and not succumb to our previous failures." Despite their loss to Seafood, Charcoal Waffle managed to come good on their aim to get back to their winning ways, taking the victory against Siglap CSC C in the final match of the day. Seafood also defeated their final opponents of the day, Goons, with a score 17-11, to remain undefeated in the competition. Only two of the other 15 teams that are competing in the East Zone Under-19 Boys group have managed the same feat—PrimeTime and Mcbuckets. All the teams completed their first five matches yesterday on day one of the competition. Siglap CSC, Goons, Indian Pacers and Swee Win won three matches each, with every other team bringing home two or fewer wins. PHOTO: LIM WEE TAY, KIN PRODUCTIONS Food the Inspiration behind Team Names When asked about the origin of the team’s unusual food-themed team name, Teo Yung Juen from Team Seafood said: “There’s no meaning behind the name ‘Seafood’—at the time I was eating seafood so I just decided ‘seafood lah, sounds like a good name’”. It was a similar story for Team Charcoal Waffles’ Beck Low, who said: “I was having charcoal waffles the other day and I sought inspiration from that.” The East Zone Under-19 Boys teams will take to the court again on 26 Feb for their next five matches of the qualifiers.

PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS 21 February 2022, Singapore - The Active SG Cup 2022 Basketball 3x3 Competition continued where it left off with a set of jaw-dropping displays from the Under 16s and Under 19s at ActiveSG Clementi Sport Centre, where we witnessed the challengers in Group B dust their basketball shoes and prepare to do battle on court. Siglap Team 3 Only Needs 3 With only three players in their squad, Team Siglap 3 captained by Huang Xi started their tournament strong by swiping aside sg-Lions 1 (18-3). With his commanding presence through the middle, Xi was never shy of driving himself toward the hoop or setting up his teammates Lucas and Pao Sheng for the easy lay-up. Lucas and Pao Sheng were a physical menace in the middle with their size and dominance in getting onto the rebounds and keeping control of the ball. Siglap Team 3 continued their winning ways by racking up big wins against Team Marcus and Proform White, 13-7 and 16-7, respectively. When asked about their views on the competition, Jian Hang, the team's manager, shared, “We don’t look at teams, teams should look at us. We are here to win it all”. Still early days, but the teams from the East are not shy in boosting their chances in this competition. They’ve yet to face other strong opponents in the form of Team 828 and Sky Scrapers, who are also undefeated in the tournament so far.

With the 3x3 concept, this means outscoring your opponents by 2 points in overtime if the points are all square in regulation time. Team Marcus is the team you do not want to face if that time does come. Winning 2 in 2 overtime duels, the team playing their first-ever competition together, could cause some upsets in the upcoming rounds with their sheer determination and will to win. When asked about his team’s performance in overtime, team manager Shaun placed it all down to the team’s hard work and tireless efforts in making sure that they aren’t a team to be taken lightly. With two wins from a possible 3, Team Marcus might create shockwaves in Group B. Eugimiel getting into a tussle against Team Rice n Shine.

Team captain, Eugimiel, ensured his incredible individual performances throughout his team’s journey in the competition. Racking up most of the points with his drives to the hoop and his shooting capabilities from in and around the 3 point line, Eugimiel was a player that was on the tip of everyone’s tongue. When asked about his performances, Eugimiel said, “As a captain, I look out for my team and make sure that I do whatever it takes to get the results we need”. Eugimiel was an influential figure in his team’s 17-15 win against Galaxy, where he racked up 12 out of the 17 points. He also shared his view on the competition, “We know the competition is tough, and we have our eyes on Proform Gold, and we look forward to that matchup”. Zach making it look easy against Team CD.

Together with Max Markgraf, Soren Jensen and the focused, Zach Helzer, Proform Gold made sure that their display on the courts was capturing the attention of everyone around it. Wins over Team CD (21-6), Team Rice n Shine (13-4) and The Outramians(18-13) underlines the dominating presence that they bring to the competition with Max and Soren’s physicality when it comes to rebounds or Rajata’s handles around the court or Zach’s accuracy from the three-point line, Team Proform Gold are no pushovers in this competition.

This athlete found a new home with CrossFit after being a gymnast for 13 years PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN It is natural to feel a little lost after retiring from a sport you spent 13 years of your life on. This was certainly the case for gymnast turned CrossFit instructor Sheryl Tan, who used to look forward to each of the days she spent in trainings and competitions - the many highs and lows that came along her way as a gymnast. “After retiring from gymnastics, I missed attending training and wanted to look for outlets where I could at least maintain what I developed and gained over all those years. I decided to go for trials in touch rugby and dragon-boating, but it did not work out and I did not enjoy it as much”, said Tan. “It was tough looking for a sport that I enjoyed as much as I enjoyed gymnastics.” PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN Tan’s journey as a gymnast began when she was only 4 years-old. Having an older cousin who was a national gymnast, her parents noticed how gymnastics had a positive influence and helped to develop character. They also believed it was a well-rounded activity that could enhance Tan's physical development and harness basic foundational skills such as strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and body awareness. Tan confessed: "They claimed that I had so much energy in me back then, that they had to find me an outlet to release it.” PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN "Ever since I started my journey in gymnastics, I never looked back. The thrill, challenges, routines, and the sports culture were so enjoyable and fun to me," she shared. "I had my first ever artistic gymnastic competition at the age of seven and even though it was insanely nerve-wrecking, I loved the experience and wanted to keep competing forever." Tan participated in all four gymnastics events: the balance beam, uneven bars, floor exercise and vault. “My favourite event and one that will always be, is the uneven bars”, she shared. “The feeling of performing challenging skills on the bar, the process of learning new skills and also just swinging back and forth on them was so exciting and thrilling”. She also attributed her time as a gymnast as playing a big part in grooming her to become the person she is today. “Many personal values and life lessons of mine were sculpted from gymnastics like discipline, determination, courage, honesty and resilience to name a few”, she recounted. PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN Having built the right foundation after years of training allowed her to transition from sport to sport after retiring from gymnastics, all there was left to do was find the right fit. For Tan, that fit was CrossFit. Tan was first introduced to CrossFit by a friend who invited her to join him for a training session. “My first ever CrossFit session absolutely killed me. I was traumatised by the intensity, but because I paid for a month’s worth of membership, I had to keep going.” “Eventually, I started learning different skills and slowly understanding the culture and concept of CrossFit as a sport.” She also found herself being able to carry over many gymnastic elements and skills, which also gave her a slight head start. Every time I had to use those skills in a workout, it felt so familiar and comforting. That was when I knew CrossFit would be my new staple”. PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN It is common for many who are unfamiliar with CrossFit to be a little wary of it at first. If you are curious about CrossFit and thinking of trying it out, it may be helpful to remember to go at your own pace and not to compare yourself and your progress to others. Tune in to your own journey. Tan believes that CrossFit can be for anyone and everyone, and one should not be afraid to give it a go. “CrossFit might seem dangerous and scary at first, I don’t disagree with that, because even I thought of it that way when I first started. But once you keep going, you will realise how varied, versatile, progressive and functional CrossFit is,” Tan shared. PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN After two years of training, Tan found her new calling as a CrossFit coach. “It was a real eye opener. I learnt how different and challenging coaching CrossFit could be compared to just doing it. I love how holistic and progressive CrossFit is and the wholesome culture of the sport”, she said. Tan is currently pursuing a part-time degree in Sports and Exercise Science so that she can continue doing what she loves, which is training and coaching. PHOTO VIA SHERYL TAN How does she manage all of it? “I train and coach in the mornings, and attend lectures in the evenings. Because this is the first time I am balancing both work and studies concurrently, it is a little challenging, but still manageable”. “There is no reason to stop doing what you are passionate about. No matter what plans you have or how busy you are, you will find a way to squeeze in just a bit of time for it. That is what makes life exciting and more fulfilling!”, she concluded. Tan is in the process of moving to a new coaching and training home ground and we can’t wait to see her back in action! #SportPlusSG #CrossFit #Gymnastics #SherylTan

A cycling group that caters to all levels, West Coast Riders originally started with just two pace groups in 2012 Photo via West Coast Riders Rarely can greyhounds and bunnies exist peacefully together. But such is the case for the West Coast Riders (WCR), a cycling group which uses the names of the two animals to differentiate the pace at which its members ride at. It all began a decade ago when lead coordinator of the group, David Ho, brought his wife and colleague for a ride with the other regular members. Photo via West Coast Riders David knew that the newcomers would struggle to keep pace with the others but still wanted to find a way for both groups to reach the end point around the same time. His solution: to plan a shorter route for the slower riders and see if the faster ones can catch them before reaching the end point. Photo via West Coast Riders The Greyhound Race “I coined it a ‘Greyhound Race’, naming the faster pack ‘Greyhounds’ and the slower pack ‘Bunnies’”, recounted David. Thus, they set off with the predators chasing down the prey. In the end, the bunnies emerged victorious, and the names of the two groups became unique parts of WCR’s identity. Originally set up by two friends — Lian Seng and Stephen Cheng—in January 2012, WCR was one of the few groups at the time that cycled in the western region of Singapore. Photo via West Coast Riders Coining of the Name "West Coast Riders" Its name was inspired by the location of their rides which started from the McDonald’s at West Coast Park. David, an ex-classmate of Stephen’s, joined the group shortly after it was formed. Although the group does not often don their jersey, they can be identified by their bib shorts which have the letters "WCR" printed on them. Photo via West Coast Riders In the past decade, WCR’s membership has grown from just a group of friends to 2,600 people in its Facebook group. At any one time, the number of active riders averages around 100, and they are open to new members who wish to join the group. The number of pace groups has also grown from the original two (the aforementioned “Greyhounds” and “Bunnies”), to nine separate groups now—with three newly-formed “Newbies” groups during the pandemic as cycling has become an increasingly popular form of exercise. Photo via West Coast Riders A Group for All Riders In this way, WCR caters to all types of riders. Some ride to socialise, while others use the rides to train for competitions and events. “It's like having a pace buffet spread—pick what you like each ride and eat till you're fully satisfied!” said David. Photo via West Coast Riders Though the pandemic brought certain aspects of people’s lives to a standstill, cycling was not one of them for the members of WCR. Photo via West Coast Riders Two Weekly Rides, Adhering to Safe Management Measures Adhering to prevailing safe management measures, the nine pace groups go for rides twice a week—Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings for the three “Newbies” groups; and Saturday and Sunday mornings for the other six. Apart from these timings, the riders can also form their own packs and ride anytime. Photo via West Coast Riders Different Routes, Different Terrains WCR also has many different planned routes with the objective of exposing riders to a wide variety of terrains. In fact, the routes are designed so that if members join all the rides in a week, they will cover the entire island. Having tried routes off the beaten path, David said, “Lim Chu Kang and the Sungei Tengah farmland areas offer more remote and scenic routes especially early in the morning.” Photo via West Coast Riders He added, “For a good sunrise, you may head to Upper Peirce Reservoir Park. However, you'll need to work for your reward with the undulating route to get there.” Other scenic options are Woodlands Waterfront or Woodlands Jetty, where a route passing through Marsiling Lane offers a good vantage point of the causeway. The new Changi Bay Point Park Connector, which runs beside the sea, is also unique as it evokes the feeling of being overseas. Photo via West Coast Riders Looking to the future, David said, “WCR has nothing specific in terms of goals. But we plan to do what we have always been doing—ride responsibly, follow the traffic rules, be friendly, sociable and open to all riders. Focus on the ride — ride hard, ride safe!” #SportPlusSG #Cycling #SgCycling #WestCoastRiders

2022 winners from LPGA Tour, Ladies European Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia will be heading to Singapore for the HSBC Women’s World Championship, as tournament confirms five sponsor invites for ‘Asia’s Major’ PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES 24 February 2022, Singapore – Recognised for bringing together the best players from around the world, this year’s HSBC Women’s World Championship will see the winners from three of the major international women’s golf tours touch down in Singapore next week, ahead of the 3 – 6 March event at Sentosa. Danielle Kang, Lydia Ko and Leona Maguire, winners from the first three LPGA Tour events of the year, will all feature in the 66-player line up, as will Esther Henseleit, winner of the first event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) schedule, together with Hannah Green, winner from the WPGA Tour of Australasia-sanctioned Vic Open. All five are regular LPGA Tour players with Ko (2015), Kang (2018) and Green (2021) sharing the accolade of having finished runner-up in the tournament often referred to as ‘Asia’s Major’. The trio will be looking to draw on their depth of experience to go one better this year. Meanwhile Maguire and Henseleit will be making their tournament debuts in the Lion City. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES McGuire, whose victory at the LPGA Drive On Championship earlier this month was her first on Tour, said: “I’m really looking forward to playing in Singapore. It’s one of the big events on Tour that everyone talks about and am just really really pleased that I made the field. I had a couple of close finishes last year before getting off to the perfect start this month so really hope I can take that form to the HSBC Women’s World Championship. Look forward to seeing you there!” Green, who came tantalizingly close to lifting the silverware at Sentosa last year, added: “I really enjoyed last year’s event in Singapore, and was pleased to give myself a chance to win on the final day. This event is lovely, and Singapore is one of the favorite destinations on our calendar. I took some time out over Christmas and was thrilled to win in Australia at the Vic Open, which hopefully sets me up well for the LPGA season. I’m looking forward to starting my LPGA season here and hoping to keep it going.” PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES HSBC extends invitations to five golfing talents Meanwhile, Hinako Shibuno and Momoko Ueda of Japan, Xiaowen Yin of China, Emily Pedersen of Denmark and Singapore’s Sock Hwee Koh will join the elite field challenging for the prestigious HSBC Women’s World Championship trophy when the showpiece tournament gets underway next week. The five will take their place in the field on account of their promising talent and continued contribution to the game, courtesy of an invitation from tournament sponsor HSBC. Known as the Smiling Cinderella, Shibuno shot to fame following her win at the 2019 AIG British Women’s Open, in what was her first start outside her home country of Japan. She became Japan’s first major winner in 42 years and has played in 18 LPGA Tour events since. Now in her rookie year, the 23-year-old will be looking to post a good first result as an LPGA Tour card holder. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES Compatriot Momoko Ueda made her LPGA Tour debut in 2008 and has twice won the LPGA Tour-sanctioned Mizuno Classic in 2007 and 2011. Now 35 years old, Momoko is making her first appearance in the HSBC Women’s World Championship since 2013. Ueda said: “I am appreciative of the invitation to play in this year’s HSBC Women’s World Championship. This will be the first tournament of this season for me. It is exciting to be back to Sentosa Golf Club since 2013, taking part with the talented players of the world.” Xiaowen Yin is a 16-year-old amateur from China who recently finished second at Stage II of LPGA Q-school but could not advance as she did not meet the LPGA’s minimum age requirement. Currently ranked 8th on the World Amateur Golf Ranking, Xiaowen created her own piece of history in 2021 when she became the youngest-ever three-time champion on the China LPGA Tour. Winner the 2021 Women's Sunshine State Amateur in Florida last November, the prodigious young talent will be one to watch for the future. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES Yin said: “Thank you to HSBC for the chance to play in Singapore. The support they have given to us younger Chinese golfers over the years has been amazing and I’m really appreciative. This is an wonderful opportunity for me and one I’m really looking forward to it and to see how my game compares to the top players. Thank you!” Emily Pedersen has won five titles on the Ladies European Tour and in 2020 finished first on the LET order of merit, Race to Costa del Sol. Tied in 5th place on her Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games, she has also represented Europe twice in the Solheim Cup in 2017 and on the winning side in 2021. The final sponsor invitation goes to Sock Hwee Koh following her two-stroke victory in the HSBC Women’s World Championship National Qualifying Tournament earlier this month. Playing at her home club, this will be her fourth appearance in the tournament. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES Jonathan Castleman, Managing Director - Global Head of Brand and Brand Partnerships at HSBC, said: “As a long-term supporter of the game, HSBC is committed to opening up the world of golf and creating a pathway for the best young players from the Asia-Pacific region to compete on a world stage. The combination of the talent these players have shown and the manner in which they have conducted themselves matches our ambition to help grow the game at all levels and attract new audiences. We look forward to seeing them all in action on The Tanjong next week and we wish them the very best of luck for the tournament. “Congratulations in particular to Sock Hwee on a fantastic performance in the HSBC Women’s World Championship qualifier. She takes her place in one of the most competitive fields in golf on pure merit and I’m sure will have the support of the nation behind her. We wish her the very best of luck as she returns to familiar surroundings at Sentosa to take on the world’s best players.” Partners of the 2022 HSBC Women’s World Championship are: Singapore Tourism Board, Sentosa Golf Club, Singapore Airlines, Lexus, Rolex, Hilton Singapore Orchard, Aon, Panasonic, ECCO Golf, Epson, OSIM, Under Armour, COBRA Golf, Ice Mountain, PengWine, TikTok, Sony, Titleist and 100PLUS. #SportPlusSG #Golf #HSBCWomensGolf

This SEA Games softball gold medallist and founder of Sports by EM3 was not academically inclined, but did not let his results nor the system define his destiny PHOTO VIA SPORTS BY EM3 Struggling with self-discipline and the demands of school, Sports by EM3 founder, Seow Chin Keong was streamed into EM3 at Primary 5. The streaming system was introduced in the 1980s to group students based on their academic abilities and was later scrapped in 2008. In sporting terms, Seow described this as the Division 3 of the local education system, while EM1 was the Champions League. However, Seow did not let this define him and found something else he was passionate about - sports. He said, "That’s how the name actually came about. Although I was from EM3, I knew how sports could change lives and that was one of my main objectives when I started Sports by EM3". Seow Chin Keong celebrates with softball teammates after clinching SEA Games Gold in 2019. PHOTO: STANLEY YEO Sports by EM3 was founded amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and fuelled by Seow’s love and deep appreciation for sport and how it changed his life. For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to step out of our comfort zones and adapt to change. This was no different for Seow. In 2019, Seow and his team won a historic softball gold medal for Singapore at the Southeast Asian Games. However, the pandemic the next year dashed his hopes of competing again with tournaments around the world being delayed or cancelled and Seow decided to focus on his career instead. He shared, "The start of the pandemic in 2020 was a time for me to think deeply about my career and what I wanted to do in the long-term." PHOTO VIA SPORTS BY EM3 "I decided that I wanted to enter the sports industry and be a full-time coach as I wanted to share my love of sport with others and teach value and character building through sports." Sports by EM3 is grounded in a learning and exploratory philosophy. When browsing their website you’ll come across phrases that emphasise this on almost every page. Seow believes that enjoyment of sport is what keeps someone active for life and that is what matters the most. This approach is something Seow learnt as an athlete. "It is important to trust the process before we still can see the results come our way. Looking back at the experiences I had in school or in sports, everything seemed too result driven without an understanding of the entire process", he recalled. Seow Chin Keong in action for Team Singapore during SEA Games 2019. PHOTO: STANLEY YEO Despite being a former softball player, Seow also coaches Tennis at Sports by EM3. Seow always had an interest in sports since he was young and tennis was a sport he really wanted to be good at. His competitive Tennis journey only began when he was a student at Republic Polytechnic where he played and represented the school in tournaments. The similarities between softball and tennis such as movement patterns, striking or swinging the ball and knowing the distance between the player and the ball helped him pick up tennis more quickly. Setting up a business on his own and during a pandemic came with new challenges that Seow had to overcome. "With the uncertainty of sports in the new normal, Sports by EM3 faced an uphill battle right from the start", he said. PHOTO VIA SPORTS BY EM3 He had to make crucial decisions that could make or break his endeavour, but Seow remained determined. "I had already failed in the past and had overcome the fear of failure. If anything were to happen, I would just try again and again." Look up Sports by EM3 on Facebook today and you would be able to read the encouraging reviews left by Seow’s students. A testament to Seow’s never give up attitude. A typical weekday for him starts with adult tennis lessons at 7am, followed by softball coaching from 3pm - 6pm for different schools, and another round of tennis coaching from 6pm - 10pm before calling it a day at around 11pm. As a business owner, his only rest day on Monday is spent settling accounts and other administrative matters. What keeps him going? “The fulfilling part of my job goes beyond sports. Students will actually look up to you as a mentor and life advisor”, said Seow. #SportPlusSG #SportsbyEM3 #Tennis #SeowChinKeong #TeamSingapore #Softball

Singapore Silat Athletes off to a good start on first day of the 8th Southeast Asian Pencak Silat Championships Iqbal Abdul Rahman in action for Singapore. PHOTO: SINGAPORE SILAT FEDERATION 25 February 2022, Singapore – Team Singapore's silat exponents put up impressive showings in the opening day of the 8th Southeast Asia Pencak Silat Championship at the Singapore Sports Hub's OCBC Arena. Singapore’s Muhammad Iqbal Bin Abdul Rahman, Singapore's first competing athlete of the day, scored an impressive 9.940 in the Senior Artistic Male Single semi-final to advance to the final on Sunday. He will compete against Asep Yuldan Sani of Indonesia in the final. The 28 year-old, competing in his first tournament since the pandemic began, admitted he wasn't feeling his best but still gave it his all. He said: "I’m proud of what I did today. It wasn’t really at the standard where I can usually tell myself I did very well, but I’m quite satisfied with where I am now." "Moving forward from today, I just want to keep myself fit. I’m looking forward to the next performance, which is my final on Sunday. I want to push even harder than today." PHOTO: SINGAPORE SILAT FEDERATION Sheik Ferdous Earns Last Four Berth World champion Sheik Ferdous Sheik Alau’ddin featured in the Senior Match Male G (75-80kg) category, but his path to booking a place in the last four was far from easy. Ferdous made to work hard to secure his 17-15 win over Indonesia’s I Kadek Adi Budiasta in the quarter-final. Starting strong with a 7-2 lead, Ferdous saw his opponent make a comeback, leveling the scores in the final round. Ferdous shared: "I was prepared but I guess my nerves got to me a little because I was very shaky. I got a few points in the first round, lost the second round and thought to myself, ‘I can’t lose this, if not I’m going home with no medal.’ "So I plucked up my courage, got that one kick in and that got me ahead of him. I’m really glad I won and I’m hoping to do better in the semi-final." Ferdous will next face Vietnam’s Nguyen Tan Sang, and will be taking valuable lessons from his quarter-final bout into that match. "There’s no room for nerves at all. I think (Nguyen) might be my strongest opponent in this class," added Ferdous, the world champion in the Class I (85-90kg) category. "We’ve never fought each other before, so it’s a surprise for both of us. Nevertheless, I’ll be preparing myself well for this upcoming match. I hope I can perform way better than this and make it to the final."

Proform Gold keep up unbeaten run in Boys U16, while KaiXuan Black show why they are serious contenders with seven wins in seven for Boys U19 PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS 21 February 2022, Singapore - Proform Gold dominated the ActiveSG Cup 2022 Basketball 3x3 competition in the Boys U16s Central Zone on day 3, as they showed a mixture of class and physical supremacy on their way to an unbeaten run in the competition. The eye-catcher amongst the four would be Raphael Bautista, who imposed himself in the game by roughing it out with the big boys. Raphael works his way from inside the 3 point line and sucks his opponents close to him, leaving his teammates Johsua Fitzgerald and Heathe Bellingslea wide open for an easy basket. PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS Speaking about the two free men, Johsua and Heathe made sure that they were good screeners when they needed to, and they were always in the way to turn down shots to pick up any rebounds. With their size and physicality, they were a force to be reckoned with. We also should not leave out Adam Brest, who had great handles and was always looking out for the quick pass in between the defence. But the one thing that stood out from this team was their love to get buckets. They started the day with a 9-3 win over Swish, and they pushed aside Turf Ballers 11-1, but the day's standout scoreline was their 21-3 demolition of the Gingerbreadmen. When asked about their outrageous scorelines, Adam replied, “That’s just what we do”. We are looking forward to what they are going to do next. PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS Zhou Bing leaving his opposition in his wake as he makes his way to an easy bucket. Photo: Harmeet Singh, SportPlus.sg One team that could be a thorn in Proform Gold’s side is Ninja Turtles. After a sensational week 1, the turtles returned to continue their rich vein of form. Unluckily for them, they were forced to walk over their first game against The Nubs. But that only made them go that extra harder. With Zhou Bing making his presence known with his loud voice that echos around the hall, Ninja Turtles demolished TYCO 13-1, with Zhou Bing grabbing 8 out of the 13 points. Zen and Glenn would complete the line-up for Ninja Turtles. When asked why Ninja Turtles, they replied that they played basketball together at a young age, and their favourite meal together is cheesy pizza. Could they win the entire tournament and celebrate it with some pizza? Watch this space! PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS Kaixuan Black continued to show that they should be serious contenders for the Boys U19s title as they continued their unbeaten run in this competition. A team that is well disciplined with Leyang and Adrnav keeping up with their incredible number of rebounds together with Raetan and Sullivan proving to be a nuisance for defenders with their excellent aerial ability without forgetting Jayden, who was inspired by Stephen Curry’s All-Star Game performance, showing his accuracy from the 3 point line. Their performances captured the attention of their competitors as they tore apart Ballersia (8-4) and took apart Oreo (14-4) and Vikings (16-6). Kaixuan, which translates to return in triumph in mandarin, clearly explains what this team’s mantra all is about. When asked about success, Adrnav replied, “Seven and O. What more can I say?” These guys are coming into next week with their morale on a high, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be. PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS “In every hamburger, you need the right set of buns that will compliment a delicious patty together with that American cheese to give it a little kick with every bite. But not all hamburgers can always hit the spot. Sometimes you will get a hamburger that doesn’t live up to its expectation.” That is how Teng Yen from HanBaoBao, translated as hamburger in Mandarin, described his team’s performance today. After a fantastic start in week 1, HanBaoBao was looking to keep up their winning ways this week, but that wasn’t to be as they were brought back down to earth by three consecutive losses against Taller Than Average (14-16), My Little Pony (9-10) and Ballersia(4-8). But if there’s any consolation, HanBaoBao’s match against My Little Pony was the highlight of today’s action. In a tight affair, with the scoreline at 7-7 with 10 seconds on the clock, Jia Wei sunk a two-pointer to give his team a 9-7 lead. PHOTO: KIN PRODUCTIONS He thought that the game was over. Everyone rejoiced without realising that there was still time on the clock. Xavier Tay from My Little Pony was on the spot to grab the follow-up and make his way to the 3 point line and sink his game-tying 2-pointer at the buzzer. Ethan Cheong would produce the game-winning point with a fadeaway that left Jia Wei grasping nothing but air. A crushing blow to HanBaoBao’s dreams for qualifying, but Teng Yen believes that there’s always room for improvement. We hope to see more spice in HaoBaoBao next week.
