Team Singapore Olympians are coming home with a bronze medal, new national records, and a whole lot of sporting spirit to be proud of. On August 14, celebrate their efforts and achievements at a open-top bus parade that will travel through the city.
The open-top bus parade will have five cheer points. It begins at 11.45am at Bayfront Avenue in front of Marina Bay Sands, before travelling to Chinatown, Orchard Road, Serangoon Road, and Victoria Street. The parade should be over by 1pm. Whatever it is, ready your flags (and perhaps your umbrella) and gather at these cheer stops at the designated times for a chance to catch our Olympic athletes in the flesh.
According to reports, eight athletes are set to take part in the open-top bus parade. One of them is Maximilian Maeder, who won the Olympic bronze medal for kite foiling in Paris this year – and on our National Day too. He's just 17 years old, making him Singapore's youngest Olympic medalist ever. Other Olympic athletes confirmed to be joining the bus parade are swimmer Gan Ching Hwee, who set two national records at the Paris Olympics in the Women’s 800m freestyle and 1500m freestyle, and badminton mixed doubles pair Terry Hee and Jessica Tan.
Sure, the bus parade is happening in the middle of the work day – but it's as good an excuse as any to take a longer lunch. So, get out there on August 14 and cheer our Team Singapore Olympians for the massive job they've done representing us on a global stage.
