I saw an article stating that Joseph Schooling was trained in USA and his father spent over $1 million (USD) in his training.
The environment in Singapore was not conducive to his training. It must be very costly for his family.
I am glad that this investment is rewarded by the glory of achieving an Olympic Gold and a generous cash prize from the state.
Perhaps our elites in Singapore can reflect on our training system - which seems to be not going well here.
