Competitive spirit of Ang sisters helps St Nicholas retain C Div badminton title
In 2024, Emma Ang sat in the stands of the OCBC Arena hall and watched her older sister Ellie jump for joy and emerge with a gold medal around her neck as CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School (Secondary) won the National School Games (NSG) C Division badminton League 1 title.
When it came to her chance to compete in the same stage and at the same venue on Aug 27, Emma was determined to win the same medal.
With both her school and Raffles Girls' School (RGS) winning two matches each in the best-of-five final, it was Emma who delivered the decisive victory to ensure that St Nicholas won 3-2 and retained their title.
The Secondary 1 student said: "Last year, I came for their final and I saw that they fought very hard and all of them put in their effort to get the win. I wanted to experience that too and win the medal. And I thought of that during the game and it pushed me."
RGS had led with Song Tao defeating St Nicholas' Wen Zhimin 21-7, 21-18. Ellie then partnered Wang Shumiao to make it 1-1 after a 21-14, 21-19 victory over Emily Ho and Isabelle Tan.
