We are Family!: Why Singapore will never be able to emulate Cabo Verde without a winning sports culture

View descriptionShare
 

Distance runner Soh Rui Yong has done it again, breaking his own 5,000m national record at 34. But why can’t his sustained success be emulated in other sports? Why do we still struggle to build a broader sports culture where sporting excellence can truly thrive? And yes, why can’t we do a Cabo Verde and be the little nation that could at the World Cup?

Fresh from his latest record, Rui Yong joins us to unpack what Singapore may be missing, from the way we raise and educate young athletes to our attitudes towards sporting careers, competition and success. And as smaller nations make their mark on the world stage, what needs to change if Singapore wants to become a genuine sporting nation?
