Kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder wins Singapore’s first gold medal at Asian Games

Earlier in the day, Victoria Chan added to the sailors’ impressive medal tally after she took a bronze in the Women’s ILCA 6 event. Chan’s medal race was also cancelled.

On Tuesday, there were two silvers and two bronzes for Singapore, courtesy of Justin Liu and Denise Lim (Nacra 17) and Isaac Goh (boys’ ILCA4) as well as Keira Carlyle (girls’ ILCA4) and the duo of Kimberly Lim and Cecilia Low (women’s 49erFX).

At the last Asian Games in 2018, the Singapore sailing contingent won one gold and one bronze. Team Singapore finished with four golds, four silvers and 14 bronzes across all sports in that edition.

Singapore’s first medal at this year’s Asian Games came from wushu exponent Kimberly Ong, who clinched bronze in the women’s changquan event.
