VIENTIANE : Singapore has won its first gold medal at the Laos SEA Games, which is also the first medal given out at the Games.
The Republic's water polo team triumphed 8-5 against Thailand in their last match of the round-robin competition.
Victory against the Thais ensured top spot for Singapore, who had earlier beaten Indonesia and the Philippines.
This is Singapore's record 23rd successive gold medal in the sport at the SEA Games.
Naturally jubilant with their perfect record, Singapore is now aiming higher.
Luo Nan, captain, Singapore Water Polo Team, said: "This team only changed three players from the last SEA Games, so everyone knows each other very well.
