Team Singapore put Sunday's seemingly bleak day behind as they added two medals - a gold and bronze - to their tally yesterday.
Para-swimmer Toh Wei Soong clinched the bronze medal in the men's S7 50m freestyle event in 29.83 secs, behind Australia's Matthew Levy (28.60s) and South Africa's Christian Sadie (29.65s).
The Commonwealth Games debutant was third in the heats, but was not fixated on a podium finish in the final.
Toh said: "I feel great, I'm really happy. The medal is a culmination of my hard work and support from my parents, who flew from Singapore to see me, and my coaches who have been there with me all the way."
But the grind won't stop for Toh after today's success, as he plans to go back to training to prepare for the World Para Swimming World Series in Sheffield and possibly Berlin in June and Asian Para Games in October.
Shooter Martina Veloso picked up the nation's first gold medal at this year's Games in the women's 10m air rifle event.

In the men's 10m air pistol event, Gai Bin came in seventh in the final with 133.9 points.
