SINGAPORE: National swimmer Quah Zheng Wen did not hold back from expressing disappointment in a recent Instagram story, after it was revealed that his sister would not be fielded to the Olympics.
The athlete wrote, “What an absolutely disappointing display of management. The lack of transparency, clarity and honesty given to our national athletes by positions of authority is appalling. According to Singapore Aquatics’ announcement, it had made an appeal for the elder Ms Quah to be included in the relay team, but World Aquatics turned the appeal down.
Ms Quah herself had also made an appeal, but when a SAQ Appeals Committee met on July 7 to consider her case, they chose to stick to the decision of the Selection Committee.
