Maeder second, targets progress not perfection
April 26, 2025
|The Straits Times
Maximilian Maeder's run of international kitefoiling triumphs, which started after the 2024 Paris Olympics, has stopped at five following his second-placed finish behind Italy's Riccardo Pianosi at the French Olympic Week event in Hyeres, France, on April 25.
Once again showing maturity beyond his youth, the Singaporean teenager told The Straits Times: "I went in first into the medal series, which was the goal, so that was well done.
"During the final, I just have to take my hat off to Riccardo, who had a wonderful execution... not making any mistakes and attacking aggressively.
"There are lessons to be learnt, which is good motivation to improve for the future.
"Also, the less you let the bad or good results affect you, the better you can have your consistency shine. So that's the goal, just to try and take whatever lessons we can from this event and continue training and improving. I'm aiming for progress, not perfection."

As someone with a T-score of 206 in the 2015 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) — not achieving what society would deem an “acceptable” score - I feel qualified to discuss the exam and the stress it still brings to Singapore (Modify PSLE instead of scrapping it, Dec 22).
