Lim said on Tuesday: “I think this is the first time I have had back-to-back competitions so close together. There’s definitely no time for rest now. Usually after competitions, we would have a week of rest before we go into training again but this time around, we don’t have that luxury. In fact, I just got back to Singapore today and tomorrow I am back at training.
It has been a rewarding 2023 for Lim, who won a SEA Games gold in May and chased his Asiad silver with another achievement in Saudi Arabia, where his combined score of 19.516 helped him capture a bronze medal in the men’s daoshu and gunshu all-round event. With his latest triumph, Lim plans to bank on his winning momentum and is targeting gold at the world championships.
