The gloomy weather could not dampen the excitement of the nation’s para-athletes as they embarked on a celebratory parade through town on Saturday (Sept 14).
About a hundred fervent supporters had turned up at the OCBC Aquatic Centre in the morning to cheer on the 10 Team Singapore Paralympians before the bus parade started.
Speaking to the media, swimmer and double gold medallist Yip Pin Xiu said she was “very excited” for the bus parade. The 32-year-old had previously participated in a similar event back in 2021.
“It’s a really nice experience because you get to be on the bus with your fellow teammates, and you get to see all these Singaporeans come out and support you,” she added.
