SINGAPORE: Singapore has qualified for the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games after winning the Two-Person Keelboat 2008 World Championship.
Jovin Tan and Desiree Lim triumphed on the final day of racing by finishing second, first and third in the three races held on Thursday.
This enabled Team Singapore to bounce back from its third place ranking to finish as champions.
China slipped to second place in the final ranking while Team Portugal finished third in the overall.
The championship ended a day ahead of schedule due to favourable weather conditions.
Team Singapore walked away with the champions trophy as well as S$5,000 cash prize, sponsored by NOL.
The official closing ceremony will be held on Friday at the Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore Hotel at 6.30pm.
