ASIA's fastest 100m butterfly swimmer returned to Singapore to a rapturous welcome at Changi Airport on Monday morning.
Tao Li, who became the first Singaporean to qualify for an Olympic swimming final, was mobbed by dozens of her ecstatic schoolmates from the Singapore Sports School at Terminal 3.
Also present was Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan, who commended the teenager's achievements in the pool.
