Unfortunately, Singapore did not finish top on the 2015 SEA Games medal standings.

But 2nd place is hugely impressive, as Singapore has always concluded our SEA Games behind our larger neighbours - Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.

In fact, tiny Singapore had achieved the most medals in this edition of the SEA Games with a 259 medal haul.

Just check out our past five SEA Games performances:

2013: 6th (34 Golds)

2011: 5th (42 Golds)

2009: 6th (33 Golds)

2007: 5th (43 Golds)

2005: 6th (42 Golds)

Here are seven facts about Team Singapore that our SEA Games fans did not need to know:

1. Best medal haul: The 258-medal haul surpassed Singapore’s record of 164 medals (50 Gold, 40 Silver and 74 Bronze) when the Games was hosted in Singapore in 1993.

2. Daily Gold Medal: Singapore won a gold medal daily from June 3 until the conclusion of the SEA Games.

3. Many Games records broken: The team posted 25 SEA Games records, 29 new national marks, and 74 personal bests.
