Isabelle's a silver star

SINGAPORE - Born and bred right here in Singapore, Isabelle Li (picture) is doing her best to prove she can one day join the likes of imports Feng Tianwei, Li Jiawei and Wang Yuegu at the main table of the Republic's top women paddlers.

Yesterday, Isabelle, who turns 16 on Saturday, won a silver medal in the girls' singles event at the Youth Olympic Games. Cheered on by some 2,000 fans, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the Singapore girl tried her very best against China's top seed Gu Yuting, but was beaten 11-8, 11-5, 11-8, 11-9.

"This is a very special medal for me because it's the first Youth Olympic Games and we worked very hard for this," said Isabelle. Singapore Table Tennis Association president Lee Bee Wah was ecstatic that their youth programme is beginning to bear fruit: "I almost cried when I saw how courageously she fought. I think she can be like Tianwei in the future."

Isabelle has certainly benefited from the world-class nature of the women's game at the national level.

"The women's team really helped show me nothing is impossible. They have generated more noise, interest and publicity for the sport," said Isabelle who is thriving at the Sports School. With increased Government funding, she has also been able to travel overseas consistently for competitions, training and sparring sessions.

Singapore's table tennis women won a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in the team event and in May this year, they beat China for the world crown. Both senior teams featured paddlers from the foreign sports talent scheme.

Just because the name is spelt Li in HYPY instead of the dialectal Lee, doesn't necessarily mean the person is from PRC. Since early 80s, Singapore government has been encouraging (though not strictly enforcing) ethnic Chinese parents to spell their babies' names in HYPY. Lee Hsien Loong's son was named Li Hongyi.

I couldn't help noticing the way they place her name and country on the back of her polo shirt - "LI I S SIN". Considering that she wore a crucifix during the match. I had a good laff.
