Jovin Tan wins boccia silver as Singapore shines at Asian Para Games

Jovin Tan added another medal to his Asian Para Games tally on Wednesday, clinching silver in boccia and extending his record as a multi-sport medallist at the continental competition. The Singapore athlete's performance in the precision sport underscores the depth of talent within the nation's para-sports programme.

Tan's silver medal comes in addition to medals he has previously won in sailing at the Asian Para Games, making him one of the few Singaporean para-athletes to have succeeded across different sporting disciplines at the event.

In the same boccia competition, Singaporean teammate Jeralyn Tan secured a bronze medal, providing a boost to the nation's medal haul at the Games. The strong showing in boccia reflects the growing competitiveness of Singapore's para-sports contingent in regional competition.

Singapore continues to build its presence at the Asian Para Games, with athletes competing across multiple disciplines. The performances of Jovin Tan and Jeralyn Tan demonstrate the calibre of training and support available to para-athletes in the city-state as they pursue medals on the continental stage.
