Eight years ago, Singapore won an Olympic medal, and the nation is putting its hopes on Maximilian Maeder when he competes in the men’s kitefoiling final on Thursday ( Aug 8 ).
The 17-year-old globe champ secured his place a day before as one of the top two rivals, behind , Slovenia’s Toni Vodisek. Four seamen will compete for top spots in the event.
The kitefoiling last could begin at 8 p.m. in Singapore, but the start time may depend on wind conditions.
