Head coach Gary Tan believes that it is imperative for the swimmers to remain focused and have a positive mindset at the Asian Games
SINGAPORE: Prior to their departure to Hangzhou, China, Singapore national swimming head coach Gary Tan knew it would not be easy to emulate the medal success of past Asian Games editions. But despite that, Tan believes that it is imperative for the swimmers to remain focused and have a positive mindset at the 2022 Asian Games.
Without the presence of the former Olympic gold medallist, Team Singapore only managed a silver medal in China. Teong Tzen Wei took second place in the 50m butterfly with a time of 23.34s, behind South Korea’s Baek In-chul, who set a new Games record of 23.29s.Singapore Aquatics and South East CDC launches 'Empowering Lives through Aquatics' programme
Singapore’s quartet of Quah Zheng Wen, Jonathan Tan, Ardi Zulhimi, and Mikkel Lee narrowly lost the bronze medal in the men’s 4 x 100m freestyle relay race. They came in fourth place with a time of 3:14.77, finishing behind third-placed Japan by 0.51s.Fundraising for Singapore water polo, recruitment for women’s water polo development team
“Before the disqualification was established, we had broken the National Record by 6s. The time would have potentially placed us into the top 16 of the World rankings. A big standout for me would be Letitia’s 100 breast leg which she swam 1.05.86. This was the fastest breaststroke leg in the field on the final night,” shared head coach Tan.
