SINGAPORE - What has traditionally been a night of pomp and celebration for the sports fraternity was given a Covid-19 twist on Wednesday , as the Singapore Sports Awards sported a new look owing to safety rules during the pandemic.

Billiards world champion Gilchrist, 52, said winning his second Sportsman gong after his first in 2014 was a"dream come true". While Gilchrist lamented a"totally different" awards ceremony, he said:"I hope that in years to come, we can look back at this and have a bit of a laugh about it. First-time winner Tan also had a stellar season that saw her become the first Asian to win the women's Masters trophy at the 2019 World Bowling Women's Championships. The 32-year-old was also the first Asian to win the QubicaAMF PWBA Players Championship title and was part of the gold-medal winning team at the SEA Games.
