With flexibility, lots of sweat, determination and grit, Tan Sze En is flipping up the training as the Tokyo Olympics are right around the corner.

With the one year delay of the Olympics due to the COVID-19 crisis, Sze En shared how she felt about the postponement of the competition.

"I was quite upset when it was cancelled but at the same time, I understood that the safety of everyone, especially the people in Japan was of the utmost importance."

One year on, and while it's been a long journey to Tokyo for this tenacious athlete, she is not letting anything get in her way of representing Team Singapore at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Sze En has been training in the US for the past 6 months under the watchful eye of her coach, Tabitha Yim, and will fly direct into Tokyo just a few days before the official training kicks off from her home base in California. After completing freshman year at Stanford University in the US just a week ago, she has already started to turn up the heat on her training and is fully focused on what is ahead.

Sze En is only the second Singaporean gymnasts to achieve this feat and follows in the footsteps of Lim Heem Wei who was our first gymnast to compete at the Olympics in London 2012.
