Lego has honoured Singapore Paralympians Yip Pin Xiu and Theresa Goh with two look-alike minifigurines - complete with matching swimmers and medals - to celebrate their achievements in Rio.Pin Xiu took home Singapore's first medal in Rio winning the 100m S2 backstroke event. The 24-year-old, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, broke the world record with a time of 2:07.09.Teammate Goh won bronze in the 100m backstroke SB4, her first win from four Paralympic Games since making her debut in Athens in 2004.The toy manufacturer posted a photo of the immortalised athletes on their Facebook page, receiving more than 4,000 reactions.In a comment to Lego's post, Goh replied: "Hahahah oh man this is great! Lego has launched a five piece Paralympics set to "celebrate sporting achievement and overcome adversity".Those sentiments were expressed in a personal Instagram post from Pin Xiu."Nobody knows our journey like us," he said. The athlete was recently reclassified as an S2 swimmer as her condition worsens and progressively weakens her bones.
Pin Xiu is hoping to take home a second gold, if she wins the 50m backstroke, which will make her the first Singaporean to win multiple gold medals at the same Games. Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong congratulated the swimmer on Facebook."Pin Xiu, you have made Singapore very proud today," he said.The toy brickmaker's range of collectible figurines, which range from Superheroes to Star Wars characters are extremely popular with fans.Three gold medals, two world records and one Lego figurine under her belt. But what's next for Singapore Paralympian Yip Pin Xiu? The BBC's Heather Chen profiles the young athlete, as part of a series on the Asian women likely to make the news in 2017.Swimmer Joseph Schooling may have delivered Singapore its first-ever Olympic gold medal but Yip Pin Xiu remains the country's most decorated athlete. With her 2016 and 2008 wins in Rio and Beijing, Yip now has more gold medals to her name than any other Singaporean Olympian or Paralympian.But setting her sights on too much and not having enough time is often a problem for the busy 24-year-old, who's just returned from Europe, where she spent Christmas with her boyfriend and family.
School has started and Yip is back home. The swimmer is currently studying for her degree in political science at the Singapore Management University, which recently set up a sports scholarship in her name.It's evident that Yip's heart is still in the pool. She says she is "in a hurry" to graduate so she can resume full-time training and even though she is training up to five times a week, Yip wants to dedicate more hours to it. "Training isn't as intensive for me now as it normally is in the lead-up to major games," she said.But balancing commitments is no easy feat, let alone for a three-time Paralympic champion. "Juggling school and training takes up a lot of my time. And the only travelling I'll be doing for the rest of the year will be for competitions, not holidays," she says.But it's not impossible for her. "Since young, I've learnt to manage my time. It's difficult but I can do it." The youngest of three children, Yip was born with muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that slowly breaks down the muscles.
When she turned 11, she lost her ability to walk and had to rely on a wheelchair. By age 12, she ventured into the world of competitive swimming. Yip also suffers from a nerve condition that affects her eyesight. But she remains infectiously optimistic about her life."Things are so good and I'm really happy," she said with a smile. On that, she recalled her biggest highlight of 2016: winning at the Rio Paralympics. "My teammates and I were overwhelmed. The recognition we received was a lot higher compared to what we ever had," she said. "I will always remember how good it felt to return home to Singapore, to see all the support for Paralympians." Rio may have been just the beginning for Yip Pin Xiu but there is still more to come. All eyes will be on her during her next major swim at the ASEAN Para Games scheduled to take place in September. "My biggest competitor is myself and I want to be even better than that," Yip said. She is also gearing for Tokyo 2020, which she says will be "a very exciting and vibrant event".
But does she have her sights set on a fourth gold? She had this to say: "Committing myself to the next Paralympics can be scary and after three medals, I don't know what else could be better.But there's a high possibility that I will go on for more years of training and competition. If I see a potential, I'll keep going." With those milestones some time away, can Yip count on the celebratory spirit and support of 2016?"I wouldn't say that support for Paralympic athletes is dying down. Attention has diminished but that's only natural," she enthused. "A lot of people still step forward to lend their support and offer their help and assistance." Yip has found tremendous support in her fellow Paralympian Theresa Goh, who herself has racked up world records and medals. Beyond the headlines, both girls enjoy an endearing friendship often documented on their social media accounts. In 2016, toy maker Lego cemented the duo's star status with their very own figurines. "We know we have a bond and we don't have to verbally remind each other of our support," she said."
I can tell Theresa anything. It's nice having someone to talk to, who wouldn't judge you for anything and just listen." Over the years, Yip has made various contributions to public debate in Singapore about the treatment and recognition of its disabled athletes. "I want the world to know that being a disabled athlete is not that different from being an able-bodied one," she said. "We put in the same number of hours and we need support like any other athlete. I would like people to look beyond the disability and see the individual instead." She regularly takes time out from her busy schedule to lend her support to events that raise awareness of disabled sport. "I want our community to go beyond their limits and not believe the negativity."And water presents her with more challenges she wants to conquer in the coming year. Could scuba diving be on the cards for the world champion? "I love swimming but strangely, I've never dived before. Diving is interesting and I wouldn't mind learning as I love nature and being in the water so it would be quite an experience."
