Members of Team Singapore are also using University of East London facilities during the Games.

The country’s president Tony Tan, visited the competitors on Friday at their recovery centre in the Stratford campus.

The campus will also house the Team Singapore Athletes’ Lounge and provide accommodation for medics, under an agreement signed last year.

UEL vice-chancellor, Professor Patrick McGhee, added: “Our partnership with Team Singapore is demonstrative of the relationships that we will continue to build far beyond this summer with our international partners.”
