The 27-year-old won two bronzes at the recently concluded swimming World Cup.
Teong Tzen Wei earned a 50m butterfly bronze in 22.11sec at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup on Nov 2.
“Things in life happen, they come and don’t come, so I was more okay with not making the Olympics, but getting injured was very hard to take. At the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Singapore, the 27-year-old led at the halfway mark of the 100m butterfly to claim bronze behind Switzerland’s Noe Ponti and Dutchman Nyls Korstanje while lowering his own national record to 49.37sec on Oct 31.
He said: “When you have injuries and issues, you tend to think about negative things. But dwelling on these holds you back and the good thing about Teong now is, he keeps moving forward. With the Los Angeles Olympics still four years away, Teong’s shorter-term targets are December’s world meet and the long-course world championships next July in Singapore before the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand and 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
