Joseph Schooling (1/14)

In 2016, the 21-year-old attained Singapore’s first-ever Olympic medal in swimming for the 100m butterfly race, simultaneously beating world-renowned Michael Phelp’s Olympic record by 0.75 seconds. Although he has been winning medals since the age of four, we haven’t heard of him before this momentous event. After his victory, Singapore held a victory parade for Schooling with much fanfare, with SMRT even launching a Joseph Schooling concept train that ran on the tracks for almost a month! Milo also appointed him as their new brand ambassador, further reinforcing that moment of Singaporean pride with the ubiquitous malt drink.
