In case you’ve been sleeping in on this Saturday morning and missed the news, Joseph Schooling became the first Singaporean to take home a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics!
Singaporeans from across the island were quick to offer their congratulations:
From Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who thanked Schooling and the rest of Team Singapore for their efforts.
Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam also penned a moving piece, which thanked Schooling’s parents and Schooling’s first coach as well.
Even our airport joined in the fun.
Ice Queen Rui En broke character to offer her support as well.
Congratulations to Joseph Schooling & Team Singapore for winning Singapore's first ever Gold medal at Olympics!
