  "account": "Singapore's Youth Olympic Games campaign concluded with a total of three medals, following a campaign spanning Oct 31 to Nov 13 in Dakar, Senegal. Among these medals were a historic wushu gold and Singapore's first-ever fencing medal at the Games, earned on the final competition day by sabre fencer Ashton Auw.\n\nThe 14-member Singapore contingent secured a gold, silver, and bronze, showcasing their determination and hunger to compete against top young athletes from around the world. SNOC secretary-general Mark Chay praised the young athletes for embracing the spirit of the Games and rising to the challenge, despite facing strong opponents.\n\nBeyond the medal count, the athletes gained valuable lessons from the experience. For Ng Zhe Nin, wushu gold medallist, the Youth Olympic Games served as a stepping stone towards bigger competitions in her future. Against the backdrop of Singapore's first-ever fencing medal, the athletes also had to navigate the pressure of competition and maintain a balanced perspective on their development as young athletes.",
