School Sports Council Singapore

Giving is Winning is a joint IOC-UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) project in the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. SSSC is working with the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) to bring this campaign to the schools. For a start, we are encouraging our SSSC National Colours Awardees to donate unused or almost new sports attire. The next phase will involve school based collection. This will eventually be distributed by the UNHCR to various refugee camps around the globe. This campaign follows a successful first edition, in which close to 30,000 items were collected on the occasion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

Who are refugees?

Refugees are legally defined as people who are outside their countries because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, and who cannot or do not want to go home.

A sports attire collection drive will be sweeping across Singapore!

This campaign for humanity, ” Giving is Winning” is a joint IOC-UNHCR(United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) project in the run up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Athletes, officials, members and supporters of the Olympic Movement are encouraged to donate sports clothes which will then be distributed to various refugee camps around the globe.

Lee Yan Lin – Ex-National Athlete, Organizer of Venus Run

    1. Tell us more about yourself. And also, what is your motto in life?

My motto in life is to give to others more than what they require, and also to give without expecting anything in return. I also stand by living everyday being thankful for what I have and showing gratitude to the people around me.

I am 26 years old. I am currently working as a financial consultant. I chose this career purely because of interest and passion. It has been a wonderful 3 years since. Besides work, I see myself as a very outgoing person. I like to meet new people and I try to keep an active lifestyle through running and doing other recreational sports. As much as I love running, I am unable to commit to it on a competitive level.

    1. How did your passion for running start?

I started running when I was 11. Back then, it was just a time away from books and getting to ‘play’ with my friends. I started training proper when I was in secondary school. Running to me was definitely still a joy but I also had a different kind of motivation. It was the commitment made to my school and to my teammates. This made me very eager to train hard together and to achieve the best results I could for my school. We had very good coaches and teachers (in CHIJ St Nicholas). They definitely contributed to my growing passion for sprinting. When I started training for the national team, sprinting became part of my life. Other aspects of my world had to be altered to suit my training – family, my friends, leisure time, and even schoolwork. I learnt so much about hard work, discipline, about facing my fears, my failures and overcoming them. I experienced teamwork, fun and glory. All these factors made me so passionate about running.

    1. Share with us some of your highest achievements in Track & Field.

– Represented Singapore in 4x100M in SEA Games, 2007 – 4th placing, set a new national record of 46.68 sec.

– Represented Singapore in various international competitions like Asian Grand Prix, Asian Track & Field Meet, Commonwealth Youth Games, etc.

– Set National Schools Track & Field A Division Record for 200m & 4x100M.

    1. Do you have a strict exercise and diet plan? Where do you frequent to keep fit?

Currently, I do not have a fixed exercise regime or a diet plan. I try to exercise at least twice a week. The exercises I do include a mix of a long run and strengthening exercises. I am slowly working on a fixed exercise regime of at least 4 times a week! I run at places near my home like Mac Ritichie, Bishan Park or Bishan Stadium.

For my diet, I eat almost anything but I avoid fast food and canned food. I try to keep my diet light with lots of fruits and vegetables. I believe that it’s all about having a balanced diet/lifestyle, such that if I were to eat unhealthily on certain days, I will balance it out with salads, lighter food or with exercise.

In the past when I was an athlete, I had an exercise regime which I had to follow religiously. I had to train about 6 times a week, sometimes twice a day. I had no diet plan but I knew which food are good and bad for me and will consume appropriately at the different periods of my training cycle.

    1. How do you juggle between work and keeping fit? What motivates you?

If I have no time to exercise because of work, I try to walk as much as possible. For shorter distances, I walk instead of driving or take public transport. Exercising with my friends motivates me to exercise because I feel that it’s more fun doing it together as a group. It is also easier when friends motivate each other when the other is down. Another way I motivate myself is by signing up for runs. This makes me train for it as I want to better my timing after each run.

    1. What inspired you to embark on organizing Venus Run?

As an ex-national athlete, I am grateful for what the Singapore Athletics Association has provided me with. So when I was approached to organize Venus Run, I thought that it would be a good way to give back to the association. I also like to see people run and by being part of Venus Run, it allows me to reach out to more people to encourage them to start running.

    1. How do you overcome some of the difficulties that may arise when organizing the run?

There were a few challenges that we faced. Initially, because the committee of this run was largely made of up volunteers, it was tough to schedule meetings and to divide the workload.

The second challenge was to differentiate our run and to create unique experiences for our participants, since there were already so many runs every weekend.

For the third challenge, instead of involving too many people in the decision-making, we had to scale down on the number of committee members. We shortlisted those who were responsible, experienced and passionate about running to be the core decision makers and then allocate minor duties to the other members who were specialized in different areas. These ensured swift decisions were made.

Lastly, in order to find ways to make Venus Run 2014 different, we have two new and exciting partnerships. This is something the runners can look forward to for a unique experience. More details are on venusrun.sg.

    1. What are your aims for organizing Venus Run?

Venus Run targets both new and experienced runners and the aim of the run is to allow women, young or old, new or experienced, to achieve their personal sporting goals.
We would also like Venus Run to be an avenue for new runners to have fun, enjoy and kick start their running habits which will hopefully and eventually help them embark on an active lifestyle.

For experienced runners, it is to give them more race opportunities. With our official timing systems and also with the route sanctioned by the Singapore Athletic Association, the runners can ensure that the distance run and the timings taken are accurate.

    1. In your opinion, what motivates women to participate in endurance sports such as a marathon?

There are many reasons why women participate in endurance sports. One reason I believe is that endurance sports allows women to express their freedom – that they can push as hard as they want and go as far as they can, where there is no limit in achieving what they set out to do.

It is also the process of training up for an endurance sport that satisfies them. Going through the pain and overcoming it eventually reward them with a very strong sense of fulfilment.

    1. Lastly, share some words to encourage women to participate in Venus Run.

All women have a lot to look forward to in Venus Run 2014 because it is going to be an experiential event. Venus Run 2014 is to be held on International Women’s Day and hence, we are creating the event to focus on the needs of women and to empower them through running.
The committee of Venus run is constantly thinking of how we can empower women through our event and in the upcoming Venus Run, we will be introducing two new and exciting partnerships, as I had mentioned.

Our title sponsor has designed a unique ‘women-focused’ event shirt and there will only be a limited number of 5000 shirts just for the Venus Run participants. More info of how to get the shirt will be on our website.

Finally, by taking part in Venus Run, the ladies will be contributing a portion of their race fees to a non-profit organization. There will also be other fund-raising activities in aid of a good cause.

WORLD CLASS NETBALL STARS TO VISIT FROM AUSTRALIA

[Wednesday 18th December, 2013] – Singapore netball fans will get a chance to see more top level netball in January when Western Australia’s elite netball team, West Coast Fever, play an exhibition game as part of a Western Australian State Government initiative to promote the sport in the region.

The Fever, who play in the Trans Tasman Netball League competition, known as the ANZ Championship, will conduct coaching clinics at local schools, train with the Singapore National Squad and play a game against a Netball WA Fever In Time squad at the Toa Payoh Sports Hall.

The game between West Coast Fever and the Fever In Time squad will be played on Friday, January 17 at 7.30pm. Entry is free.

Both Western Australian teams and officials will be in Singapore from January 15-17 and will also be hosting a corporate function where they will meet with Netball Singapore officials and key members of the Singapore business community.

The Fever boast two current Australian Diamonds, goal attack Natalie Medhurst and goal shooter Caitlin Bassett, former Diamonds coach Norma Plummer and two players who have also represented Australia in the past in Kate Beveridge, Chelsea Pitman and Chanel Gomes.

Bassett and Medhurst, who have played 88 Tests between them for Australia, were major factors in Australia’s recent Constellation Cup series victory against arch-rivals New Zealand.

Bassett was the most prolific Australian goal shooter in the ANZ Championship this year, amassing 450 goals from 510 attempts at an amazing 88.2 percent.

Plummer, who coached the Australian Diamonds to 67 victories from 89 Tests, took the national team to a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. She was also in charge of the Diamonds in 2007 when they won the World Championship and she had current Fever players Medhurst, Bassett and Chelsea Pitman in the front court of her line-up for that famous victory.

“This tour gives West Coast Fever a quality environment in which to run a pre-season camp, and Singapore netball fans a chance to see some of Australia’s best players in action as they prepare for the 2014 ANZ Championship season,” Netball WA Chief Executive Officer Simon Taylor said.

“The relationship between Western Australia and Singapore is an important one when it comes to both business and sporting ventures.

“This tour is being supported by the Western Australian Government through the Department of Sport and Recreation with the backing of Fever’s No.1 ticket holder, the Premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett.

“Netball WA is working towards hosting a major event late next year, the Pilbara International and the Singapore National Team has indicated a willingness to compete. They would be competing against other leading teams from Asia as well as the winners of the Western Australian Smarter Than Smoking State Netball League and a Western Australian Indigenous All Stars team.

“In regards to netball, we have great respect for Netball Singapore and believe they, like our very own elite and high performance teams, could benefit from international facilities such as the State Netball Centre which is currently under construction in Perth and will be completed in October 2014.

“This centre will offer world class facilities both locally and to international guests such as Singapore.”
