Singaporean Sailors Navigate Teamwork Challenges Ahead of Hangzhou Asian Games

Meet Jen-E and Yi Nan, Singapore’s dynamic sailing duo who are making waves (literally) as they prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games. Their journey isn’t just about speed—it’s a high-stakes experiment in teamwork, physics, and pure chemistry.

Training for years to master their tandem sailboat, the pair has learned that success hinges on split-second communication. \“It’s like a dance on water,\” Jen-E says. \“If one of us hesitates, the boat stalls.\” The Asian Games will push their synergy to the limit, with unpredictable currents and fierce competitors.

But for Yi Nan, the real victory is inspiring Singapore’s next-gen sailors. \“Young kids see us and think, \‘If they can do it, why not me?\’\” he adds. Whether they medal or not, their story is already a win for teamwork and resilience.
