About Terence Koh

Born 1987. Terence Koh is a Singaporean sailor.

Terence Koh (born 24 August 1987) is a Singaporean former sailor, who specialized in the two-person dinghy class. Together with his partner Xu Yuan Zhen, he was named one of the country's top sailors in the double-handed dinghy for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in a distant twenty-second place. Outside his Olympic career, he and Xu gave the Singaporeans a sterling silver medal in the men's 470 at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. A member of the Singapore Sailing Federation, Koh trained for the Games under the tutelage of Australian-born head coach Craig Ferris. He is also the younger brother of two-time Olympian Koh Seng Leong.

Koh competed for the Singaporean sailing squad, as a crew member in the men's 470 class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He and skipper Xu topped the selection criteria in a three-way battle with the quota recipients Roy Tay and Chung Peiming, and Teo Wee Chin and Benjamin Tan to lock the country's berth, based on their cumulative scores attained at three international regattas stipulated by the Singapore Sailing Federation.
