daughter’s funny encounter with Singapore’s only Olympic champion and admires
May Schooling’s insistence on supporting her son’s swimming ambitions. Parents
should nurture their children’s sporting interests, whatever they are and for as long
as possible, even if they involve disastrous surfing races. Neil and his daughter still
‘compete’ in daft sports games and he believes that should never change.
