Said Jonathan, a Secondary 5 student from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) who was also Team Singapore’s flagbearer: “I am just happy I got to compete and not sit out the competition with an injury. I watched what some of the best young divers were able to do and they really inspire me.” ADELENE WONG
