It was an honour for Singapore Emcee Wayne Chan be the host and moderator of the fun fan meet-and-greet session with Singapore’s youngest Olympic medalist Max Maeder, organized by Yeo’s and NTUC FairPrice on 24th August 2024 at VivoCity Singapore.
Max is the reigning Formula Kite World, Asian, and European champion and holds the distinction of being the youngest winner in any Olympic sailing class competition, achieving this at the age of 16.
He is also Yeo’s Brand Ambassador, with a special edition packaging of the popular H-TWO-O Sparkling Isotonic drink designed with his likeness, now available at all leading retailers and e-commerce platforms.
Lighting up the room with his heartwarming and easygoing friendliness, fans were in for a treat as Max indulged the audience by personally interacting with almost every individual present, and even gamely playing rock paper scissors and “mewing” (look it up if you’re not a gen Z) as requested by some of his young adoring fans.
Graced by the CEOs of both Yeo’s and FairPrice, the event also saw Max being presented with a special memento – a touching illustration of him hugging his mum – and a $10,000 donation to the Singapore Sailing Federation from FairPrice Foundation to support the nutritional needs of future sailing stars.
A massive thank you to Yeo’s and FairPrice for having Wayne as their event #emcee, and major kudos to the teams of both organizations for making this day so enjoyable for all in attendance at this exhilarating event, which was also featured in our local news media The Straits Times: https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/whirlwind-of-engagement-sessions-for-max-maeder-but-teen-is-only-too-happy-to-oblige
