Singapore Go! Go! Go!


Really hope that Schooling can muster every ounce of his muscles tomorrow to beat the legendary Phelps. If it happens, Singapore will forever be etched onto the  collective memory of everyone who watches the olympics as the tiny nation that stop the great Phelps from getting his clean sweep in Rio 2016.
