A 14-year-old Singaporean boy beat a 14-year-old Singaporean girl to become the first Olympic Esports Series winner.

Nigel Tan faced off against Natalie Tor in an all-Singaporean grand final for the Virtual Taekwondo event, defeating her 2-1 eventually.

Beat real Olympians​


To finish first and second, the Singaporean duo had to overcome formidable opponents, including world and Olympic champions.

Tan had to defeat Turkey's Nur Tatar, a world champion with two Olympic medals under her belt.

Tor triumphed over China's Wu Jingwu, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, who came in third in the event.

Both Singaporeans are still in secondary school.
