Sports Bites

From March 27 to 30, 2025, three gymnasts from Singapore’s Sports School made their international debut at the prestigious EnBW DTB Pokal Team Challenge in Stuttgart, Germany. Representing Singapore on the four-member team were Diploma in Business student-athlete Jovi Loh, and Secondary 4 gymnasts Nathanael Pek and Xavier Pang. The competition saw the team finishing in 13th place with a total score of 212.400, an impressive achievement in their first major international outing.

The journey to the competition was not without its challenges. Nathanael Pek, one of the key members of the team, sustained an ankle injury just two weeks before the event. Despite this setback, he continued to train rigorously, adjusting his routines to accommodate his injury. The team faced uncertainty, but their positive attitude, resilience, and unity helped them stay focused and prepared.

The highlight of the competition for Singapore came when Jovi Loh qualified for the Individual Apparatus Finals on the High Bar. Competing against some of the world's top gymnasts, Loh delivered a stellar performance and finished 5th overall.
