Due to the pandemic, 2020 has been a relatively quiet year in the gymnastics competition calendar with training disruptions due to circuit breaker as well as the cancellation of competitions both locally and internationally. To keep the team’s motivation and morale up, Singapore Gymnastics’ men’s coaching team initiated the inaugural Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) National Training Centre Winter Classic on 19 December 2020. The MAG NTC Winter Classic is an in-house friendly competition where the NTC athletes are split into two teams. Team Red consisted of Cameron, Eli, Jayden, Kaelan, Terry, Tong-Yu, Xavier and Zac, while Team Blue was represented by Aiken, Asher, Barr, Jonah, Jovi, Mikhail, Nathanael and Robin. The red team came up on top with a team score of 318.05 and won for themselves Decathlon shopping vouchers worth $20 each. Team blue was not far behind and was rewarded with Decathlon shopping vouchers worth $10 each. Besides the team prizes, there were 2 surprise awards awarded to the athlete that showed great “Sportsmanship” and an athlete that showed “Elegance”. Voted by the judges, the recipient of the “Sportsmanship” award was Terry and recipient of “Elegance” was Jonah.

Singapore Gymnastics would like to thank our Full Member, Gymnastics Support Group Singapore (GSGS) for kindly sponsoring the awards and goodie bags, packing the goodie bags and setting up the awards table for this event. We would also like to extend our thanks to the judges, Mr Gan Chai San, Mr Hoe Wah Toon, Mr Keong Sin Gen and Mr Sng Puay Liang for taking time off their busy schedule to judge at the event. The MAG NTC Winter Classic would not have been so successful without the assistance of all of them.
