Our paddlers lit up the tables on home ground at the SEA Youth Table Tennis Championships 2026, delivering a fierce, fast-paced campaign filled with speed, precision, and fighting spirit.

Held from 14 to 19 April 2026, the Championships brought together strong young talents from across Southeast Asia. Against a competitive field, our paddlers rose to the occasion and produced a stunning performance, winning 15 of Team Singapore’s 16 medals. They also played a key role in all four gold medals captured by Team Singapore.

Leading the golden charge was Loy Ming Ying, who showed nerves of steel and sharp attacking play to clinch the U19 Girls’ Singles title. Sonia Zainudeen also delivered under pressure, teaming up for a brilliant victory in the U15 Girls’ Doubles to add another gold to Singapore’s tally.

The team events brought even more action and excitement. In the U19 Boys’ Team event, Ellsworth Le, Loy Xing Yao, Nicholas Tan and Benaiah Seah battled with confidence and composure to power Team Singapore to gold. Not to be outdone, Loy Ming Ying, Chloe Lai and Janelle Chiang combined superbly in the U19 Girls’ Team event, securing another golden finish for Singapore.
