Five swimmers have met the mark for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Quah Ting Wen, Quah Jing Wen, Letitia Sim and Levenia Sim at a press conference at the OCBC Aquatic Centre on March 6.
Jonathan Tan and Letitia Sim had earlier qualified for the men’s 50m freestyle and women’s 100m breaststroke respectively, while the women’s 4x100m medley relay team of Quah Ting Wen, Quah Jing Wen, Letitia and Levenia Sim also earned a berth with their top-13 finish at the World Aquatics Championships.
Summing up the qualifying campaign, national swimming head coach Gary Tan said: “I think we did a great job. The coaches put in a lot of effort to make the team come together as one and get the relay to qualify outrightly. It’s a big milestone for us. These include Teong going under the men’s 50m qualifying mark of 21.96sec though his personal best was recorded at the SEA Games in 2022, outside the qualification period.
Looking ahead, Gary noted that there is a pressing need to add depth to the women’s team as sprinters Amanda Lim and Ting Wen are in their 30s.
