Singapore’s swimmers win four more gold medals at the 31st SEA Games

After a hair-raising 50m butterfly swim saw him set another individual best and new SEA Games record with a period of 23.04, swimmer Teong Tzen Wei found it challenging to summarize his contemplations.

“I’ve been preparing quite hard, and passed up a year on the grounds that the SEA Games should be a year ago. I’m truly glad that the preparation that I’ve done has at last paid off. Sort of still lost for words,” he told journalists.

“You develop something for such a long time and it at last works out and you hope to be so cheerful yet the feelings are simply all over.”

Singapore’s swimmers, including Teong, matched the four golds they won on Saturday (May 14) with one more four during Day 2 of the opposition at the My Dinh Water Sports Palace in Hanoi on Sunday.

This acquires their all out gold decorations the opposition such a long ways to eight.

To get this show on the road, Gan Ching Hwee took triumph and held her crown in the 800m free-form with Vietnam’s My Tien Vo Thi getting done with silver. 16-year-old Ashley Lim would guarantee bronze for Singapore.

Following up, it was Quah Zheng Wen who might add one more gold to Singapore when he won the 100m free-form with a period of 49.57.

Comrade Jonathan Tan imparted the joint-silver to Vietnam’s Jeremie Loic Nino Luong subsequent to timing 50.14.

Tan’s award is the 800th decoration our swimmers have succeeded at the Matches.

“Happy I got to bring back gold for Singapore once more, the time wasn’t excessively awesome however it’s an interaction returning to dashing following a year so I’ll take it,” Quah told journalists after the race. “Pretty stirred up with the outcome one way or another, got much more of the meet left so we’ll see what we can do.”

Quah had won a singular gold on Saturday in the 100m backstroke, yet was important for the Singapore group of four who were excluded in the wake of winning the 4x100m free-form hand-off.

CNA comprehends that the preclusion was because of an insignificantly early take-off from one of the swimmers in the group.

“It was only an appalling error, we win together, we lose together, so what will be will be. We are about to push ahead and be all that we can be at this meet,” Quah said.

Next would be Teong’s chance to sparkle as he took gold, with partner Mikkel Lee guaranteeing silver with an individual best time in a Singapore one-two.

Singapore’s 4x100m free-form ladies’ hand-off group would then gather together the day’s procedures by winning gold in the occasion.

The group of four of Amanda Lim, Christie Chue, Quah Jing Wen and Quah Ting Wen timed a period of 3:45.71.
