Singapore’s Olympic Gold Medalist goes on a parade

Joseph Schooling, the first Singaporean gold medal winner is currently on his victory parade around Singapore.

Schooling won Singapore’s first gold medal after beating former Olympic winner, Micheal Phelps at the 100m butterfly event at Rio Olympics 2016 on Saturday (13 August).

The finals were held at 9.10 am Singapore time. Schooling completed the race in just 50.39s which broke the Olympics Games record. He beat the previous record of 50.58s by Michael Phelps in 2008 Olympics Games held in Beijing.

Earlier on Monday, the Parliament passed a motion to congratulate him for his winning of the Olympic gold medal.

This is the first time the country had won a gold medal since the first time the Olympics Games was held in 1948.

Here are some pictures of the event posted on social media :

I'm here at Raffles City! Just an update for those who haven't arrived, the queue has closed. First 150 people get a picture, the rest can get autographs until 2PM, after which he will have to take his leave. See you guys! 😄 #josephschooling #josephfly #teamsingapore #oneteamsg #rio2016 #olympics2016

Rode to Marine Terrace Market this morning to check out the victory parade for @josephschooling. Fans had queued from 8am. He arrived around 10:20am but the crowd was so big he was unable to do the meet and great as planned. I couldn't get close (had my bike with me) but was happy chatting to people that were excited to catch a glimpse of Singapore's gold medalist. Spoke to his first coach, Vincent Poon who is still coaching at 70. #TeamSingapore #josephschooling #Singapore
