If countries with smaller pop can do it with much lesser or no monetary incentives,
inferior infrastructure n sometimes no proper coaching, why can't we when we r better/hv more in all these aspects?

advanced amenities hinder progress and development in this sense

the kenyan and jamaican ran without shoes for their life, hence their record breaking is just a normal way of life in survival in day to day living

if the kids can walk 2hours each way to / from school in the outbacks of china, sure they will become good runners by singapore standard anytine

being chased by Hyena... :rotflmao:

...I think it just needs to \"raises its own bar\" of quality in the areas where it has achieved success in those regional \"subsets of the Olympics\". If tiny Grenada and impoverished Dominican Republic can score golds (as they did this year in London), I am pretty confident that Singapore can do it too...in the reasonably near future.

There is indeed that much one can do. Other than the hardware, the infrastructure and the incentives, the rest is up to the individual - the internal drive and perseverance of the athletes.

When our athletes are interviewed, I hear blame, I hear things somehow went wrong somewhere, I hear how being in the Olympics is a wonderful experience itself, I hear happiness in meeting personal best. I am not saying it is wrong, but I have yet to hear one who says \"I wanted to win, I haven't done enough, I know I can do much better!\" It is the case of a glass full and a glass half empty - this time, applied differently in viewing one's own potential. I believe the mind of a Champion works differently. If we continue to belief that China will always be the ones who will dominate in Table Tennis, the battle for us is already lost even before we begin.

But of course, like said, it is easier said than done. But then again, if China thinks this way, they won't have caught up in swimming this time, or any other games.
