Beautiful. What a humble and well spoken man of just 17 years old. Billingual too.
Trilingual
Likeable, down to earth and well brought up young gentleman. His parents and popo must be very proud of him. Bravo!
Max is such a lovely lad, humble and inspirational.
A very mature, humble 17 years old lad. Good job, you did your best. An Olympic medal on Singapore National Day 2024.
A talented, multilingual true blue Singaporean. What more can we ask from this humble happy-go-lucky young man. 🎉
I am so happy for Max !! Congratulations Max
His eloquence will carry him far!
Humble , very intelligent and eloquent young man!!
He is our gold hope for next Olympics😊
Provided there’s kite foiling. LA28 no kitefoiling.
@@Scambuster491is it confirm no kite foiling in 2028 Olympics?
I was shocked that he was interviewed during competition period & b4 final...out of 4 men & 1 would not be medalled.
It wasnt wise & he should just focus on the race !
Opportunity might not come again !
Anything could happen in next 4 years !
Really like the the way,you present yourself... compose,calm & mature.
Congrats again, Max.! You are such a humble and well-spoken person 😊
Singapore's youngest Olympic medallist and the only medallist for Singapore in the 2024 Paris Olympics. At 17, time is on his side. Train and go for gold. Thank you and good luck.

One word - Likeable
0:48 let the guy feel the medal but holding on to strap in case it drop on floor😂 1:40 listen to a lot of classical music , he didn't mention other genres so there u go fellas it gave him positive impact . Ok shall switch to mozart beethoven😂 1:06 Reporter try to test this angmo-like English speaking chap and wala ! mandarin can too ok? But then how come not even a slightest hint of singlish hor😂
His all black outfit up to face during race is really cool btw. that image of him surging is great t-shirt printing material.
Enjoy the moment ,thks max !
Also credit to his parents in believing in the road less travelled.
加油。Go for Gold in LA
Next idol after Schooling
His mandarin is so fluent!
Congrats ❤
17 year old, articulated well, bilingual, carry babies, resilience in the face of adversity, speed, kiasu, probably the next Prime Minister of sg. 😂
According to pineapple, future PM will be non Chinese, hopefully half Chinese can be considered 😥
Good job Max🎉
popo food best food. miss those days when she could cook for me good times
Some don't even know who max is or the sport he is into 😂 actually me too I found out while watching the games then for last 2 nites I was glued to TV screen cause it was almost game over (no medal) for SG . he is our last medal hopeful, I think. my time not wasted he crossed finish line third. The nite before he got fast& furious at start but then that one no count. fella intentionally or unintentionally can't get his kite up at count down to start of race. Could have won imo.💪
That race declared no wind. It's Semula . Postponed until next day(nite in SG)
👍🏻👍🏻
Well done Singapore son 🇸🇬
celebrate yes, but please don't get puffed up like the other guy. look what happened when ego got the better of him
he's got this German accent
these questions suck
Go for Gold the next time.
🫡🫡
Yeah eat and get massive , lower body especially, so more potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy like the other 2 winners ,standing fat at podium during ceremony😂 nah.. just kidding just me spouting nonsense. YT good for nonsense, sometimes, as long it's not hate .😅
welcm home.home swee home
all this over bronze, what it be like to get gold...... oh wait we did until he failed
Enjoy the fame and win while it last 😅
Is he an Eurasian? All of Singaporean medalists are either Eurasian or immigrants.
Yes. They love sports.
Then?
Well, the non Eurasians are so focus on academic, no?
Why can't we let loose a bit and let the kids do sports or arts?...maybe we might have more sportsman/ woman.
max’s dad is from switzerland, his mum is singaporean chinese 😊
Most trained & developed elsewhere.
