But a lot of people have supported me throughout this whole journey, and I'm really grateful for every single one of them." Ng, who started wushu at 10, has won multiple medals on the international stage. In 2024, she bagged one gold and one silver at her first World Junior Wushu Championships. She also earned two golds and a silver at this year's edition in Tianjin, China. For this year's Youth Olympic Games, Ng said that she trained twice a day. "I would spend a whole day at the training centre, sleeping and eating there," she said. "I did my best, and I think it definitely means a lot to me because I trained a lot for this." Ng's win marks Singapore's first medal at this edition of the Youth Olympic Games and its first gold credited to the country at the Summer Youth Olympic Games since 2014. Previous gold medals credited to Singapore at the Summer Youth Olympic Games came in 2014, when sailors Samantha Yom and Bernie Chin won the girls' and boys' Byte CII events respectively. Singapore gymnast Tamara Ong also won gold at the 2018 Games as part of a mixed-nationality team, but medals from such events were not counted towards a country's overall medal tally. This year, Singapore has 14 athletes competing across nine sports at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, including sailing, table tennis and badminton. The Games, held from Oct 31 to Nov 13, were initially scheduled for 2022 but were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
