We are so excited that Tokyo 2020 is finally around the corner we could hardly sit still!!!

The Olympic Games is a long awaited highlight for many around the world and is the epitome of sporting excellence, friendship and respect. In less than 30 days time, homegrown Singaporean gymnast Tan Sze En will be walking into this year's biggest sporting event in world, flying our country's flag at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We are incredibly proud of this young Singaporean woman and will definitely be sharing more coverage on her journey towards Tokyo 2020. Join Us as we cheer on Sze En via our hashtag #Cheer4SzeEn.

At the same time, we also want to congratulate all our fellow athletes who will be representing Singapore in their respective sports. Every individual enroute to Tokyo 2020 have worked tirelessly, fiercely and with great sacrifice to get to where they are and we want to celebrate them, their sport and the Olympic games itself.

Here is our 5 ways of embracing and celebrating the Olympics. If you decide to try them out and even your own rendition of an Olympics party, be sure to tag us on all our social media so that we can spread the joy and join in on your fun experiences.
