Stanley Tan Kheng Siong (born November 4, 1974 in Singapore) is a retired Singaporean sailor, who specialized in the Laser class.[1] He represented his nation Singapore in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and has also been training throughout most of his sporting career for the Singapore Armed Forces.[2]
Tan made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he placed thirty-eighth in the Laser class with a net grade of 275, finishing closer behind Malta's Mario Aquilina by a three-point deficit.[3][4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Tan qualified for his second Singaporean team, as a 29-year-old, in the Laser class by placing seventy-seventh and obtaining a berth from the World Championships in Bodrum, Turkey. Unlike his previous Olympics, Tan posted a net grade of 322 points to upgrade his position to thirty-seventh in a fleet of forty-two sailors.[5]
