Highlights
Singapore first took part in the Olympic Games when they were last held in London, in 1948.
They were represented by a single competitor, Lloyd VALBERG, who finished equal 14th in the men's High Jump.
With the exception of Moscow 1980, Singaporeans have competed at every Olympic Games since then, although in 1964 they competed with Malaysia and North Borneo at the Tokyo 1964 Games.
Singapore's first medallist was HOWE Liang Tan, who took silver in the men's Lightweight Weightlifting at the Rome 1960 Games.
Singapore's other medal was a silver in the women's team Table Tennis at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
They had narrowly missed out on an individual medal in Table Tennis when JING Junghong placed fourth in the women's singles in 2000 and LI Jia Wei also finished fourth in the women's singles in 2004.
Swimmer YEO Joscelin was only 13 when she made her Olympic debut in 1992. She remains Singapore's youngest Olympian and went on to compete in four Olympic Games. Singapore hosted the IOC Session in 2005 at which London was selected to host the 2012 Olympic Games.
They also staged the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010.

This section tells you everything you need to know about going to a London 2012 sports event or ceremony – including how to get to venues, what you can and can't bring in, accessibility information, and tips to help make your Olympic experience as memorable as possible. You’ll also find general advice on visiting London and the UK

And don't forget: download the official Join In mobile app for all the information you need to have a great Games.
Here are our top 5 tips on how to have a great Olympic Games:
l. Be prepared for security checks when you arrive: this will be like taking an international flight at an airport. It will be busy and you will have to queue, so get there early – check your venue information for your recommended arrival time.
2. Bring as little as possible with you: the more you bring, the longer it will take to go through security. One small soft-sided rucksack or handbag is allowed per person – this must fit under your seat. If you have a ticket for Football, we strongly suggest you do not bring a bag – if you do, your entry will be delayed and you may miss your event.
3. Read the lists of prohibited and restricted items for your venue before you leave: you cannot bring in liquids over 100ml*, including water – but at most venues you can bring an empty plastic water bottle and fill it up at water points inside venues. There is a wide range of food available to buy, but if you need to bring your own food, it must fit inside your bag.
4. Leave plenty of time to travel to your venue: London and the UK will be extremely busy and very different to what you’re used to. Use the spectator journey planner to find the best route and, where necessary, book your travel to make sure you get to your event on time. Ticket holders for events in and around London can use their Games Travelcard for travel in London zones 1-9.
5. Remember the only way to pay is by Visa (debit, credit or prepaid card) or cash: read about the services and facilities available in your venue
