NINGBO – Having nowhere to go during the pandemic was inadvertently what led to sailor Victoria Chan rediscovering her love for the sport. Getting back onto the water was the first step before she eventually returned to the competitive scene, making her Asian Games debut...
Malaysian Nur Shazrin Mohamad Latif had built an unassailable lead and sat comfortably at the top with 25 points.
The bronze was hers but she would have liked the chance to complete the medal race. The former world champion in the youth Laser 4.7 class was nevertheless pleased with how the competition turned out. “But this is what sailing is about, you are always waiting for the wind to come in – sometimes it could be in your favour, sometimes it’s not – but a medal is good enough for Singapore.”
But it was not easy. Chan was mainly training by herself without a coach, coming up with her own programme to prepare for the Games in China.
