When 27-year-old Singaporean windsurfer Amanda Ng fell and injured her knee badly just two days shy of the start of the Olympics qualifiers in Oman in April, a doctor who attended to her said that she “wouldn’t be able to compete (for the qualifiers) anymore”.
Ng said: “At that moment I felt so hopeless, and I was really so upset with myself for being so careless before an important race.”

The story, as we know, didn’t end there. Ng managed to turn things around, eventually qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, where she finished 25th (out of 27) in all the qualifying races in the Games.
