The Singapore gymnast who competed in a world final while taking her O-Levels

They moved things around for Michael Johnson back in 1996 and I don’t recall anyone making a fuss about it in or outside the US.

You’re referring to the 2027 Winter University Games. For a while there, I thought the original host of the Summer Games, Chungcheong Province, Korea, had backed out.

That rule has been in place a long time. If you look at the results of previous Asian Games in bowling or shooting, you’d see third place athletes being deprived of their medals because of the no clean sweep rule.

Gold for Carlos Yulo in the men’s vault. Third gold medal and eighth overall medal for him at the world championships.

Carlos Yulo into the finals of the men’s floor exercise and vault despite nursing a wrist injury. Amanda Yap places 7th in qualifying for the balance beam and becomes the first athlete from her country to make a world championship final. She then flew back to Singapore to take her school exams.

Latest news from the local press is that Carlos Yulo will be skipping the Southeast Asian Games.

This is why the Southeast Asian Games has become a joke to me. Just because one country has a dominant gymnast on the world stage doesn’t give the host country the right to limit him or her to just one event at the Games. And it isn’t just in one sport. Look at diving. They limit the number of events there to stop the Malaysians from winning more gold medals. Maybe it’s time the decisions to add or scrap events and to determine how many events one gets to take part in be taken away from the host country. https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/othersports/2025/10/17/sea-games-restrictions-to-limit-carlos-yulo-to-one-apparatus-gap-president-0048

Most likely, their best weightlifters stayed home preparing for the Chinese National Games in November.

A matter of the pot calling the kettle black. The Indonesian authorities conveniently forgot about their occupation of East Timor from 1975 to 1999.
