NSF can become shooting champion ???

[congo9]

I think he got the idea there , but he thinks that our chiao RECRUIT can become olympic champion just because NSF has range practice ! Kind of simpleton

He is the joker of the day !


=========================================================

MR TAN CHENG-YANG: 'We have finally won an Olympic medal after having waited for over 40 years. And yet, this feat has only prompted controversy. Let's look at the problem from another perspective and ask the question: 'Are we playing the wrong sports for Olympic gold?' I believe the answer is a resounding 'Yes'. I believe shooting to be our salvation because of National Service. If we select one person from each Basic Military Training (BMT) cohort, we can have four shooters per year selected from thousands. We must recognise that our chances are extremely slim if we concentrate our efforts on the wrong sport. If we really truly want to win with native Singaporeans, we must first find a sport in which we stand a good chance at winning. Then, we must maximise the number of people who play this sport to spot the talent. I believe that if we select shooting as the national sport, we have the best chance to achieve Olympic glory within the next decade

The mighty SAF have the highest ratio of speckies compared with the little armies of other countries. No way for shooting. If the sport of 'chow keng' in introduced yes can confirm gold, silver and bronze for Singapore.

This Tan Cheng Yang is really too naive and must have never gone thru NS to understand what the hell is NS and the application of shooting to sports.

Most recruits churned out from BMT factory are just too raw to be talent scouted for finer shooting. No one can identify even if they come across one ; because no one is bothered about shooting but more on combat skills. Shooting in SAF is more of a chore to everyone. It is never fun on the ground level.

Even the conman Olympian Lee Wung Yew who boast about bringing a medal back actually spent 20 over years perfecting his skill to what he is today. He started when he was 16 and SAF did not refine him in his area of expertise.

So what make this Tan Cheng Yang thinks that NSF will gather better chances for Olympian material. By the time any NSF ROD, he is already half trained and fall out. No logic at all.
