16-year-old Amanda Yap became the first Singaporean gymnast to qualify for a World Championships final — all while flying back and forth to sit for her O-Level exams.
Between flights to Jakarta for the competition, exam papers and a world-stage performance on the balance beam, Amanda pushed through exhaustion, pressure and self-doubt to make sporting history for Singapore at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.
