Spot future sports stars early


Stars today: Pandelela Rinong (back) and Jun Hoong Cheong in action during the 2016 Olympics. They remain the best hope for the next Olympics. What happens after that if younger athletes are not spotted early and groomed?

I REFER to the article “Let’s go the distance – athletes share wishes and aspirations for 2019” (Sport, The Star, Jan 1; online at tinyurl.com/star-wishes).

Are our 57 National Sports Associations (NSAs) and the National Sports Council (NSC) doing enough to unearth sporting talent from the more than 10,000 schools in the country?
