While Singapore has delivered a laudable overall performance at the Hanoi SEA Games, senior sports administrators also highlighted a number of sports that needed to buck up.

'Sustained success' the aim for Republic

Swimming delivered its usual high standards in the Vietnamese capital, mining 21 gold, 11 silver and 12 bronze medals as Singapore finished as the top nation in the sport, as did fencing (6-4-5) and bowling (3-1-3).

Pencak silat was also praised for its best showing at the biennial Games with a 4-3-4 return, while athletics took home 11 medals (1-3-7) for the sport's best total haul since 1993.

Singapore National Olympic Council secretary-general Chris Chan said he was "delighted" by athletics' turnaround as well, given the Republic's poor performances in recent history despite the fact that track and field featured the largest number of gold medals (47) on offer.
