Defy Limits Campaign Videos

Every day, our para-athletes work hard and train tirelessly, all with the aim of enjoying sport and discovering their potential. Some have the honour of representing Singapore at the highest level, competing to bring glory to our nation.

We want to celebrate our athletes and their abilities. No, they don’t need pity. Take your pity and take it elsewhere. Our athletes don’t need sympathy. Our athletes are heroes in their own right. We are there when they triumph. We must also be there when they fall short.

These are the stories are athletes who defy limits. These are the stories we want to tell. What is your story? How do you defy limits?
