Singapore’s Yip Pin Xiu secures historic three-peat at Paris Paralympics
Singapore’s Yip Pin Xiu made history at the Paris Paralympics, winning her third straight gold in the 100m backstroke S2 with a time of 2:21.73. Yip’s victory secured Singapore’s first medal at the Games and added to her impressive tally as the country’s most decorated Paralympian.
Singapore’s Yip Pin Xiu made history on Friday, 30 August 2024, by winning the women’s 100m backstroke S2 final at the Paris Paralympics, securing her third consecutive gold medal in the event. Competing at the La Defense Arena, Yip clocked a time of 2:21.73, narrowly edging out Mexico’s Haidee Aceves, who took silver with a time of 2:21.79. Italy’s Angela Procida claimed the bronze with a time of 2:24.48.
This victory marks Singapore’s first medal at the Paris Games and further cements Yip’s status as the country’s most decorated Paralympian.
At 32, Yip is already a Paralympic legend, having won gold in the same event at both the 2016 and 2020 Paralympics. She currently holds the world records in the 100m and 50m backstroke S2 events.
Yip’s journey to the top of the podium was marked by a dominant performance earlier in the day, where she finished the heats nearly four seconds ahead of her closest competitor, Haidee Aceves. This latest win brings her total Paralympic gold medal count to six.
Yip is part of a three-member Team Singapore para swimming contingent at this year’s Games, alongside Toh Wei Soong and Sophie Soon, who will be competing later in the meet.
Yip is also set to compete in the 50m backstroke S2 heats on Saturday, aiming to add yet another medal to her impressive tally.

This is the type of SPORTs that the majority of LOSER Sinkies should participate in & win medals,for robust sports papee WILL win because papee have already programed & etch into the memory of LOSER SINKIES on where & when to mark the “X”
Keep repeating the same winner just like your biz corps. But deny other paralympic or potential an opportunity.
O yes developing another talent is costly and take time, easier to just ride on the winning ones for a star on their badge.
They say for the future generation when they ONLY keep the winners on repeat. Where about the other SGrean or generation?!?
Listen to them boast BUT look at their actions.
Keep getting more medals.She is really doing some spectacular things for SG.GCT,the current Chairman of the enabled should be the first person to come forward to show his gratitude and support .
Our new SG Golden Girl …
Step aside Max, you’ll be quickly pushed aside by the authorities, like our past glory achievers eg joe schooling and others…
