Griselda Khng & Olivia Chen - GO Sailing

Tough times don’t last!
Tough people do! 💪🏻

2 S’porean millennials quit their jobs & sleep 40 nights in used car to chase Olympic dream Griselda Khng and Olivia Chen are willing to rough it out as they attempt to achieve their dream of making it to the Olympics.

Still pinching ourselves to make sure we ain’t dreaming!!!

We’re incredibly honoured to be given an extremely exclusive tour around the Emirates Team New Zealand base by the man himself, Blair Tuke! Despite the numerous accolades to his name, including the 2017 America’s cup title (and a couple of Olympic Games medals), Blair is truly amiable and down to earth! 🤩

The extent of this entire project is ginormous, and being invited to get a lil peek into how this team operates as well as meet a few other star sailors have been phenomenal!

Did we mention that we even got to set foot onboard the ETNZ boat?! We were blown away by this formidable machine and we can only anticipate what it does come 2021 America’s Cup! 💪🏻

A huge thanks to Musashi Nutrition, our sponsor, for organising this tour for us! Never in our wildest dreams would we have thought this possible! This excursion has been so humbling and we’re beyond grateful for this opportunity! ❤️

We’re overly thrilled to be a part of today’s beach clean up effort down at Mounts Bay Sailing Club! It was great to have many club members join in this movement, as well as witness the youths enthusiastically strive to keep our beaches pristine!

Remember, caring for our planet begins with you and me! Even a simple act of avoiding single use plastic and bringing our own refillable drink bottle can make a huge impact!

Let’s reduce, reuse and recycle as much as we can! And let’s turn the tide on plastic! 💪🏻

GO Sailing towards Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, we channel our energy into striving for excellence. We are two Singaporean sailors on a mission to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games! While doing so, we hope to inspire everyone around us, and grow the sporting spirit in Singapore! As we aim to race at the Toky

Konnichiwa! We’ve set foot in the land of the rising sun! 🇯🇵

A lot of emotions for us, as this is where the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be hosted and we’re tremendously keen to finally test the Olympic waters!

After a full day’s work of unpacking the container and putting all our equipment together to prepare our boat, we were rewarded with this sight! 🌅
(Hard work reaps rewards 😉)

Arigato Japan, for such a gorgeous sunset! Here’s us ruminating on the wonders of nature and appreciating this magnificent view and moment! 😍

This is our coach, Dave!

He doesn’t usually smile, but when he does, it’s probably because it’s the end of our training camp and he can finally get rid of us 🙈

They say you find strength not in your triumphs but your trials. They are right!

We’re jubilated to have been through some very trying times and made it here, feeling strong; the first of the Olympic Games internal selections.

As the European championship commences tomorrow, we’re keen as a bean to send it around the race course knowing that we have prepared as best as possible! We will definitely be digging deep and drawing all our strength as we work towards the rings we want more than diamond rings! 💪🏻

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you have an eggstraordinary time with your loved ones! ❤️🌼🌺🌸🌺🐣

The Genova World Cup Series has come to a close for us after 9 races in eggstremely light airs, our quadriceps egged a bit with all those air squats! 🙈 Sailing Energy was just very precise in capturing us stretching our legs out 😜

Despite the low speed around the course, racing was intense, tight and eggciting as everyone was within boat lengths of each other! That meant even a tiny error would’ve punished you and spat you out instantaneously!

We managed to sail away with a 17th overall (our best results thus far!) and are really pleased with how we had competed this week! Little by little, we are getting there! And a little everyday goes a long way! 💪🏻

Time for us to now have a lil break from sailing and work on our fitness as we prepare for the European championship in Weymouth next month! ☺️

Grazie Genova for the top organization of the Hempel World Cup Series, we’re making our eggxit now. Arrivederci! 🤗

Our first regatta of the year in Europe has concluded with very good feelings and lotsa learnings! We managed to achieve some of our goals that we had set, where we competed in the gold fleet and were in the mix with some of the top! We’re pleased with our progress and will keep chipping away! 💪🏻

We’ve now found ourselves in the land of Pisa and pasta, and we’re ready to give everything at the Genoa World Cup Series that kicks off this Monday! 💪🏻

A huge thank you to our sponsor, Sports&CardiologyCentre, for keeping us on top of our game! ☺️
