Silver served to a smashing Gao Ning

ssc_marcomms posted on March 30, 2010 00:06

Singapore’s Gao Ning would certainly have achieved another milestone in his table tennis career had he defeated China’s Zhang Jike, the world no.8, but the latter was definitely not in any mood for a shock defeat by the former.

Zhang Jike, who had previously upset his own compatriot, world no.1, Ma Lin in the quarterfinals took home a cool US$10,000 ( $14,040 ) for his hard work when he cruised to a 4-0 ( 11-9, 11-6, 11-3, 11-7) straight sets victory in the men’s singles title at the Guangzhou Gymnasium yesterday.

Having won the Asian Cup three years ago in 2007 in Hanoi, Vietnam, the 28 year-old Singapore No.1 was hoping to do it again. Alas, the world No. 27 could not match up to the ambition of Zhang.

Increasing awareness about kidneys through fun and games

ssc_marcomms posted on March 26, 2010 18:14

Do you know? Statistics have shown that one in every ten adults in the world has some form of kidney damage and every year, millions die prematurely of kidney failure or heart attacks and strokes linked to chronic kidney disease. Many people do not give much thought to the importance of kidneys and the functions they perform to keep us healthy.

On Saturday, March 27, Nee Soon South Community Club Youth Executive Committee (NSS CC YEC) will be collaborating with the Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF) to come up with a fund raising event that could increase public awareness about kidney health by placing more emphasis on the educational aspect of the event with the first ever Amazing Kidney Race.

Catch my drift

ssc_marcomms posted on March 26, 2010 05:47

'The fast and the furious’, ‘2 fast 2 furious’, ‘Tokyo Drift’, I have watched them all. I am a hardcore motorsport junkie with a need for speed. Sadly, all my motorsport experiences so far have only been in front of the tube instead of behind the wheel. Well, all that changed at the launch announcement of the 2010 Formula Drift Singapore.

There were drifting demonstrations by two of our local drivers, Ivan Lim and Jansen Tan. These drivers clad in their thick racing suits looked cool under the scorching sun. I stood there in awe as they drifted their machines around a plastic cone in the cramp car park with ease. The sight, sound and smell will stay with me forever.

5 Questions with...Ivan Lim

ssc_marcomms posted on March 26, 2010 01:47

SingaporeSports.sg caught up with the affable driver on his thoughts on drifting.

How did you get involved in drifting?

I used to do motorsports like circuit driving for leisure. I wanted to upgrade myself to drive a rear-wheel drive vehicle, which is a bit harder because it tends to over-steer, so I actually purchased a Silvia after which I never did go to the circuit. I just started drifting cause it was just over-steering all over the place. From then I got hooked on to drifting.
