TOKYO (The Straits Times/ANN): It was not the opponent nor the result they would have liked to have in a quarter-final, but perhaps fittingly, the 3-0 loss to China on Tuesday (Aug 3) has drawn the curtain on the Olympic careers of Singapore’s top female paddlers as they come full circle.

World No. 10 Feng Tianwei confirmed her fourth Games – a Singaporean record she holds with former teammate Li Jiawei and swimmer Joscelin Yeo – will also be her last.
