Singapore's quest for its 21st consecutive waterpolo gold medal ended on a happy note at the 2005 SEA Games in the Philippines as the ever faithful players delivered yet again. But it wasn't just the gold that stood out. It was the way the team fought back, winning 7-6 after trailing the Philippines in a close match.

Made up of students and working adults who had to manage training despite the demands of studies and careers respectively, the team - a combination of youth and experience - showed true grit to overcome the obstacles in their path.

Beyond the SEA Games, the quest for Asian success has become really challenging with the inclusion of countries which were once part of the former Soviet Union in the Asian Games. Still, one can count on the waterpolo team to keep trying.
