In Bangkok, Thailand, the SEA Games 2025 hosted a women's air rifle team event where Team Singapore secured a bronze medal. The event took place on December 13, 2025, at the SAT Shooting Range, with Martina Amos, Ho Xiu Yi, and Gan Xin Chen comprising the team. They achieved a total of 1870.4 points, finishing third, while Indonesia took the gold medal with a new Games record of 1875.1 points, followed by Vietnam claiming silver with 1872.8 points. Notably, this is the first time the women’s shooting event has been featured since the 2021 SEA Games in Vietnam, where Singapore also earned bronze in a similar event. Debutante Gan, aged 22, performed well individually, qualifying for the final and finishing fourth with a score of 206.1 in the individual round. The top spots in this category were clinched by Indonesian shooters Mubarokah Dwei Laila and Karini Rachmawati, who received gold and silver, respectively. Veteran shooter Martina Amos expressed disappointment, stating it was not their best performance and emphasized the need for hard work in preparation for future competitions. Ho Xiu Yi echoed her sentiments regarding the added pressure at the SEA Games, acknowledging their happy result despite not performing at their best. The bronze medal achieved by Team Singapore represents a culmination of their longstanding campaign in 2025. Despite the challenges faced, including emotional turmoil and pressure from the Games, the athletes are encouraged by their performance. Amos, reflecting on her past successes and struggles, indicated that every medal, even those perceived as disappointing, serves as motivation for continued training and improvement. Gan also expressed her appreciation for the experience, framing their success in the context of meaningful participation in her first major competition. As competitions continue on December 16, several Singaporean athletes are set to take part in key events including athletics, fencing, and table tennis. There’s excitement around the upcoming athletics events, particularly for pole vaulter Soh Rui Yong, who aims to reclaim his podium position despite a challenging season hampered by medical concerns. The Singapore fencing team, historically strong, will also be defending their titles across several events in the Games. As countries vie for medals, the SEA Games remain a significant platform for showcasing athletic talent from the region.
