Where can an Sg kid from Sengkang or Jurong go to learn this sport?

Or need rich dad with connections to arrange coaching, buy foil, board etc

Don't forget that this kid is still only 17 years old. If he can stay clear of drugs (And other harmful stuff), he should go on and achieve great things for sinkieland.

I laugh at this regime's propaganda hyping him up only when he became the one remaining hope of an Olympic medal for Team Sinkieland in Paris. :roflmao:

MARSEILLE - Singaporean kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder sits second in the overall standings after the third day of racing at the Paris Olympics.

The 17-year-old finished 11th and fourth in the two races that took place on Aug 6 before poor wind conditions at the Marseille Marina resulted in the postponement of the other three races.

He is on 15 net points after seven races, with Slovenia’s Toni Vodisek leading the fleet of 20 sailors with 12 net points.

Vodisek had won race 6 before finishing 12th in race 7, a result that he can discard.

Austria’s Valentin Bontus, who finished fifth and last, is third in the standings on 17 net points.

The final race day of the opening series is on Aug 7, with the semi-finals and final taking place the day after.

Two-time world champion Maximilian is one of the favourites for the gold medal at the Paris Games, where kitefoiling is making its Olympic debut.

More about social strata than genes. Max was home-schooled so that he could spend lots of time practising and travelling around the world participating in kitefoiling competitions. Schooling trained with a private swimming club here, was schooled in ACS, travelled to KL every school holiday to take part in club swim meets, went to college in the US on father's scholarship competing against the world's best in the NCAA.

How many locals have that privilege? All fighting to survive, working 9 to 5 (7 to 9 if you incllude overtime and travel), BTO flat eating up all their CPF money and child struggling through school to end up in ITE.
