And so we got an Olympic silver medal in the Women Table Tennis competition. Or did we?
Rightfully, I should be jumping in joy, celebrating Singapore’s victory. After all, its our first Olympic medal since independence. But I seriously couldn’t find the sense of pride and glory in me. The feeling just isn’t right. It doesn’t feel like we won. It feel like China B team won. Or we purchased the medal by hiring mercenaries to fight for us.
We got a silver medal. But did we get the same glory that is supposed to come together with the medal? I’m sure there are many people out there who disagree with me on this. But I don’t feel the glory in it.
