SINGAPORE - Quah swimming siblings Zheng Wen and Ting Wen could create history at the Singapore Sports Awards this month by becoming the first brother and sister pair to win the Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year after both earned nominations for their achievements last year.

The finalists for the awards were revealed by the Singapore National Olympic Council in a press release on Sunday . Organised by the SNOC and Sport Singapore, and supported by the Tote Board Group, the Sports Awards honour the most deserving individuals and teams in sports for the year 2019. The nomination came as a pleasant surprise for former captain Ivan Ng, who retired after the SEA Games.

It was also a memorable year for the women's floorball team, who won Team of the Year in 2018, as they successfully defended their SEA Games gold medal with a 3-2 win over Thailand in the final. This year's main awards selection committee was chaired by SNOC president Tan Chuan-Jin and the selection committee for the Sportsboy and Sportsgirl awards was helmed by its vice-president Jessie Phua.

"Our heartiest congratulations to the finalists, and we hope that supporters will tune in on Oct 28 to cheer on the winners."Sportsman of the Year: Peter Edward Gilchrist , Quah Zheng Wen , Sheik Ferdous Sheik Alau'ddin Sportsboy of the Year: Darren Chua , Muhammad Hazim Mohd Yusli , Koen Pang
