🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we sit down with one of Singapore’s brightest sporting stars — Amita Berthier, two‑time Olympian, SEA Games champion, and the first Singaporean fencer ever to qualify for the Olympics through a qualifying tournament. At just 25, Amita has already carved out a remarkable career: a Junior World Cup title, three SEA Games individual foil golds, a 2018 Asian Games bronze, and most recently, a 2025 Asian Fencing Championships team bronze alongside Maxine Wong, Cheung Kemei and Stephanie Lee. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame with four NCAA medals, she continues to raise the bar for Singapore fencing on the world stage. Amita shares what it takes to compete at the highest level, how she stays grounded through wins and setbacks, and what representing Singapore at two Olympic Games has meant to her. A candid, inspiring conversation with an athlete who continues to make history — and isn’t done yet.
