There was a deal? Phelps doesn't gain much with another gold medal. Schoolings gains $1 million with a gold; Phelps could get a quarter of it ...everyone is happy.

The other 2 silver medalists also have a cut in it? Very hard to hold their horses and be together be silver (so no one lose face) le.

Well, schoolings can have a quarter left and his next 4 years of bragging rights.

The other two were not expected to win gold. I don't think there was any deal with the other two.

A stunning performance from Joseph Schooling saw him become Singapore’s first ever Olympic champion as he struck gold in the 100-metre butterfly.

The 21-year-old blitzed the rest of the field in the final on Saturday morning, setting a new Olympic record of 50.39 seconds en route to touching the wall first.

No one else went below 51s, with second place being shared in a remarkable three-way tie between Michael Phelps, Chad Le Clos and Laszlo Czeh. It is the first event that Phlelps, the defending champion and Schooling’s childhood idol, has lost at this Games.

Schooling, Singapore’s first male Olympic swimming finalist and the shortest of the eight competitors, led from start to finish in a sensational swim to bag the Republic’s first-ever Olympic swimming medal.

His feat at the Olympic Aquatic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ended a wait that had begun since Neo Chee Kwok became the first swimmer to represent Singapore at an Olympics in the 1952 Helsinki Games.

It was also only Singapore’s fifth ever Olympic medal and the third individual one, coming after Tan Howe Liang’s weightlifting silver in 1960 and paddler Feng Tianwei’s bronze in 2012.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong took to Facebook to congratulate the history-maker.

“It is an incredible feat, to compete among the world’s best, stay focussed, and emerge victorious,” he said. “Congrats once again to Joseph, you made us very proud today."

Schooling, who already had ambitions to make the Olympics at the age of six, is the first Southeast Asian male to win a medal since Philippines’ Teofilo Yldefonso won bronze in 1932 in the 200m breaststroke.

It is the third-ever medal and best finish by a Southeast Asian swimmer, with Yldefonso also having won bronze in 1928. Filipino Jikirum Adjaluddin and Singapore’s Tao Li are the only others to have qualified for a final.

Schooling’s medal is the first won by the Singapore at the these Games, as he concludes his swimming campaign on an unprecedented high.

Did the Fu iron the flag? Or did Tony bring over an ironed flag?

Looks like PAP needs Schooling more than Schooling needs the country. So desperate that they are that they are now re-writing history on the sly.

Tao Li, china born Singaporean that made history by being the first to make an Olympic final. Maybe he should have inserted that Schooling is the first Singapore born to make an Olympic final.

If Schooling wins a medal, the PAP will be all over him like a rash and will claim the credit to no end. Ng Eng Hen will give an interview why he made the unprecedented decision to grant an NS deferment.

What a sensation Joseph Isaac Schooling is.
Fastest in the 100m butterfly heats. Fastest in the semi-finals. Fastest time in the world this year. Fastest Asian ever.
We felt so much pride when the commentator highlighted to the world, immediately after the heats, that two Singaporeans had qualified for the top 16. That was thanks to Quah Zheng Wen posting his personal best - he was not as brawny as the rest, but swam with great style.
Now Joseph has made it to the finals, topping the list, and history has been made for our little nation.
Joseph told the media after his semi-final win: “I feel fine.. It was all about posting a good enough time to get into top eight. And come back tomorrow and try to do it. It’s a good confidence booster but doesn’t really mean anything.” He’s quite the cool Joe.
Don’t miss the finals Saturday at 9.10am Singapore time.

I hope Singaporeans learn from this . We don't need the PAP or indeed any party. Ruling parties always feed the people with this delusion. Bad for the country in the long run. Absolute power always leads to repression when results are not seen.

Actually it is only this guy with the issue. Or I having issue with him. Heard about his antics and that of his family. The only reason the press dare not write the truth is that his uncle once removed is the chief propaganda and media chief of the Government. SPH is dead sacred of him.

How you think he got deferment. Every time got some silly excuse. Wrong trunks, bad start, ???

We all appreciate good sportsman and sportswoman of this country but not the haughty and spoilt ones.

Hello self-therapy scroobol clone,

Not everyone is as low life as you who need to suck taxpayers money to enrich themselves while being an incapable sinkie shit.

Not everyone is as spineless as you to get close to people who achieve their own glory BY their OWN effort and hopefully their glory will spill some over to you.

Yeah yeah, the word NEED is your trademark.. because you need others' glory to get some spillover to you. IS that how you live your life? ball-licking others to get some glory.

other people's glory is none of your business. You can't get any glory yourself because you are fucking useless. You need to go near them to rub some glory aura over to you, but too bad, the glory dun stick to you.

glory are for people who work for it, it is not about being spineless to ball-lick your way to it.

It will interesting to see how DisgraceFu manage the PAP circus over Joseph Schooling when she returns from Rio.
