SMU alumna and three-gold Paralympic champion Yip Pin Xiu added a second Sportswoman of the Year trophy to her collection, picking up the accolade for the second time in three years at the Singapore Disability Sports Awards. The former Nominated Member of Parliament was also recognised for her contributions to the community. She now serves on the World Para Swimming high support needs group, Singapore's National Youth Council and the Safe Sport Commission. Pin Xiu, who has muscular dystrophy, was happy and honoured to win a second sportswoman title, adding that she is excited and nervous ahead of her fourth Paralympics. At the Aug 24-Sept 5 Tokyo Games, she will defend her 50m and 100m backstroke (S2) titles – she also holds the world record in both events.
