Lately it seems like not a week goes by without news of young Singaporeans winning all manner of international competitions.
Most recently, indoor skydiver Kyra Poh (who is just 14) has not only been flying the flag high, she herself is literally flying high, soaring and swooping up two gold medals and a silver at the 2017 Wind Games in Spain. (http://bbc.in/2jXqO6Q) I watched the clip of her winning routine with amazement. Click on the video below to see her in action.
On the culinary scene, chef Mathew Tham, was champion of the international IIHM Young Chef Olympiad 2017 held in India. (http://str.sg/4sqq)
It is exciting to see Singaporeans trying their hand at – and excelling in – areas others might consider unconventional. Congratulations to Kyra, Mathew, Eu-Wen and Kirsten for doing us proud! Keep chasing your rainbows! – LHL
Congrats Team Firefly Singapore's Kyra Poh for winning the Gold in Solo Freestyle at the The WIND GAMES 2017 held at Windoor!
Catch Kyra's artistic round, perfectly synchronised to music. Difficulty of routine rated as 8.80, the highest rating amongst the competitors. Watch how she smashed all her rounds and coming out tops out of a total of 10 fellow solo flyers!
Amazing Kyra has not only won the #freestyle category, she has also taken over the title of "World's Fastest Flyer", winning the #SoloSpeed category and topping almost every round! Together with 3 other legends in the indoor skydiving world, a scratch team Frends4eva was put together at the last minute in #4speed category. Despite not having flown as a 4-way team together before, they managed to take the Silver!
Congrats for taking two Golds and one Silver back for Singapore, and yet again, taking over the indoor skydiving world by storm! Fly safe back to Singapore (on a plane this time)!
