anw, here are some stories of these players to share. i hear these from my mom, who got this informations from the papers and the omy.com.

well, li jia wei, 27, was in the china national team, but she tot she didn't get the chance to perform. so singapore spotted her talent, and asked her to come over. so she did. and do you know, her bday is also on the 9th of August? haha.

and wang yue gu, she was also in the national team of china. but she once had to undergo a major operation for her leg, and ever since, she lost the chance to perform. then at japan, the coach of team singapore asked her to come over, and yes, she definitely made the right decision.

oh feng tian wei, tragic story behind. ok let's start off when she's only 15. she was asked to try out to join the national team in china. however, during that time, her father's health was in a serious condition. during her father's last half an hr, she was still practising. so her mom called the coach, and she rushed back immediately. when she returned home, she shouted "爸!". her father opened his eyes, talked to her and 10 min later, he breathed his last. till now, her family condition hasn't been good. her mom, in the past, has to walk 3 hours everyday just to earn S$2. after her father's death, she stopped practising for 20 days. then, she had to go to the trial for the chance to get into the national team. despite the sudden lack of practices, she came in first in the trial. it was a definite shock for everyone. however, good things come to an end. she was then diagnosed with some sort of heart disease and was hence, kicked out of the team. she then came to singapore simply for studies. but singapore asked her to join the team, and yes!

so, this year's achievement of at least a silver olympic medal, she said she's definitely going to use the money to improve her family's life.

oh do you also know, our women team's coach's brother, is also the coach of china's male team?
bye i go watch the finals alr!!
-THE END-
