2012 London Olympic Games - Singapore's First Bronze

2nd Olympic Games Table Tennis Medal in history, 3rd Olympic Games Medal in Singapore's history.

Feng Tianwei gave Singaporeans much to cheer about the previous night. She crushed Japan's Ishikawa Kasumi in 4 straight games.

Singapore Table Tennis Team has benefited greatly from the new ruling from ITTF: maximum of 2 singles player per association.

This is Singapore's first table tennis singles medal, and the first win in the bronze medal match in four attempts. The Singapore women's team deputy head coach, Jing Junhong, was defeated at the 2000 Sydney Games. Similarly, Li Jiawei had tried but failed to clinch the bronze in the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Games.

We shall now look forward to the team event which the team hopes to deliver another medal.
