SMU School of Social Sciences undergraduate Yip Pin Xiu and her teammate Theresa Goh have revealed that they will continue to swim competitively for at least another two years, up to the 2018 Asian Para Games. Pin Xiu also confirmed that once she completes her final semester of studies next year, she will be training full-time. While the pair remain undecided if they will try to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, their achievements at September's Rio Games were honoured last night at the Athletes' Achievement Awards (AAA) reception at Suntec City.
Pin Xiu said: "Throughout our journey, apart from the achievements we've had, one thing that I've been honoured is to be part of this Paralympic movement in Singapore, where more and more people recognise and see the value of this."
