Were you at the opening?

No, i nearly go to Olympic opening, there were the 2012 stering pounds ticket still available, I was pondering whether to pay for once in a lifetime experience. Later i decided not to go, thank god for that, after i saw the live show on tv. I would have commit suicide to pay 2012 pounds to see that piece of shit.

As for paralympic opening, only watch live on tv, never even cross my mind to pay to see it, did not expect much from it. But i got a big headache after waiting for hours for the walk in. Jesus, that is long. By the time they finished, i was half asleep, so i cannot tell if it is any good, wait for the video to be upload on internet and watch second time. Rubbish.

Laurentia Tan of Singapore wins Silver during the Equestrian Dressage Individual Freestyle Test - Grade 1a on day 6 of the London 2012 Paralympic Games at Greenwich Park on September 4, 2012 in London, England.

Equestrian rider Laurentia Tan becomes Singapore's most bemedalled Paralympian after winning a silver in the Individual Freestyle Test (Grade 1a) at the London Paralympic Games on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old, who suffers from cerebral palsy and profound deafness, finished behind Britain's Sophie Christiansen (84.750) with a score of 79.000 while Helen Kearney from Ireland came in third (78.450).

This is the Tan's fourth Paralympic medal after winning a bronze in the Individual championship dressage test (Grade 1a) on Monday, adding to her two bronzes won in 2008 at Beijing.

For her achievements at this year's Games in London, the Singapore-born Tan will be awarded S$150,000 (S$50,000 for bronze and S$100,000 for silver) while a gold medal would have bagged her S$200,000.

The awards are primarily sponsored by The Tote Board and Singapore Pools.

In contrast, an Olympic athlete will be rewarded S$1 million for a gold medal while a silver and bronze will carry awards of S$500,000 and S$250,000 respectively.

There have been an overwhelming outpour of congratulations for Tan, with many calling for greater monetary award for local Paralympians.

Yahoo! Singapore reader Doreen Choo said, "Well done! She deserves to be rewarded more for her achievement."

Another reader Salleh Mohamed added, "Paralympians deserves everything if not more than the Olympians received cause whatever they do they do it harder, tougher and they're more determined."
