Singapore Aquatics confirmed that Quah Ting Wen will be replaced by Gan Ching Hwee, and will miss out on her fourth Games.It has been an emotionally exhausting few days for Singapore swimmer Quah Ting Wen , but there was still no good news for her as it was confirmed on July 8 that she will not compete in the Paris Olympics.
SAQ president Mark Chay said: “It would have been ideal if we could have sent six athletes to the Games. But... we will have to respect the decision... we urge everyone to get behind our team of five who, I have no doubt, will do us proud.” “But this just takes away from what we did in Doha. We did a national record there. We said let’s see how far we can push it in Paris. It was a big step for the sport. I was part of the process of getting there and I just wanted to see it through all the way.”The veteran of three Olympics had previously admitted that the Paris Games would be her last, saying: “If you’re asking me if I will still swim, I know a part of me will not let this be my last experience with the sport.
Under Aqua’s rules, each relay team can field up to two relay-only swimmers. But it earlier confirmed Singapore’s entry for the relay and granted a special exemption for three relay-only swimmers in the team.
