Today is an historical moment for the Singapore. It is because the women team table tennis has smoothly proceeded to the final round which would be competing with the strongest country, China. This is the first time that Singapore wins the first medal in Olympics for the past 48 years since last time; Singapore won a silver medal in 1960.

Today, the game for semi final round between Korea and Singapore was very intense. And Singaporean player has put up a great performance. At first, when I watched the first game between the two countries, I was quite relaxed. And Singapore won the first game. When it came to the second game, I was quite emotional and very tense as the points for the two countries are very close for many times. I could see that the Korean player was playing defensive and it was difficult for Singaporean player to win the game. And so Korea won the second and the fourth game. And the Singapore won the third game. By the time when it came to the fifth game, the players was quite worn out and very stressed. At one point of the moment, the judge interrupted the game by introduced a rule, saying that if the either player won the games by one point when the point comes to 13 first, that mean the player won. And so the Korean player made a mistake in the final game and Singapore won the game. To be honest, I have never thought that such a game could make me feel so intense and so exciting. Also, I believe it was the longest game ever if I am not wrong…3 hrs++.

Lastly, I hope that Singapore will win over the China on Sunday and win the gold medal.
