SMU student and sailor Kimberly Lim, and her team mate Cecilia Low  are "within striking distance" of a historic Olympic medal, said Dr Benedict Tan, Chef de Mission for the Singapore contingent at the Tokyo Games, and he hopes that the pair will stay the course and work towards Paris 2024. Dr Tan made the comments after watching the pair place 10th in the 49er FX medal race at the Enoshima Yachting Harbour yesterday afternoon. The Singaporean duo were 10th out of 21 boats overall, which is the Republic's best finish in the sport at the Olympics. They had already made history as Singapore's first sailors to qualify for a medal race at the Games. Kimberly and Cecilia said they were "super happy and super proud" of their debut Olympic performance in Tokyo, although they admitted they could have finished higher in the medal race.
