Name is off target

-

GOOD thing Singaporea­n Martina Lindsay Veloso took up shooting. Because, by her own admission, she’s no good at tennis – despite the fact she’s carries the names of two of the sport’s legends.

Veloso won her second gold medal of the Games yesterday, taking out the women’s 50m rifle prone.

The 19-year-old’s parents, however, are tennis freaks and named her after Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport.

It doesn’t stop there – her four younger siblings copped the same treatment, with one of them named Marat Lleyton.
