An upcoming sporting event that will
be held in the sunny shores of Singapore would be the inaugural Singapore
International Hockey Challenge. This game of hockey will be played entirely
indoors, which is more popular with the European nations, will see participation
from Malaysia, Indonesia, Tornados Hockey Club, which is a local club comprises
of mainly expats who are interested in the game, Singapore teams, and the
Australian team. Based on their rankings, Australia is definitely the marquee
team in this competition.

China's dominance and Pride of Veterans
The Table Tennis Women's World Cup has just ended and the eventual winner belonged to China again. When I was watching the quarterfinals line up, though different nations were represented, most of the players were China-born. This led me think what had China done to keep churning out world class players and having them exported to different countries.

Local Sports Week in Action
As I am just a blogger, most of my information and articles are purely based on the local newspaper reports and my personal thoughts.
In this week alone, there have been a lot of reports on the local sports scene. The headliner of the week, definitely has to be Raddy Avramovic's 4 match suspension from the National football team's World Cup Qualifiers. This effectively kills off Raddy's chances of being at the touchline throughout the qualifiers. I thought that this is too harsh a punishment. I've watch the match, so I can understand his frustrations towards the refereeing of the game, with the added intensity of playing the Chinese and actually leading them at one stage, no wonder he lost his mind. I believe in this scenario, given even the most mild mannered coach or manager, they would also flare up with the poor standards of the handling of the game.

Singapore playing professional in Europe
Finally writing some interesting stuffs about the local sports scene...
Read in the papers a few days back that we have 3 young hockey players having a chance to experience top flight hockey in Europe. 2 of them will be playing in France, while 1 will be playing in Belgium. This is indeed a wonderful news for the development of our local players.
