Yip Pin Xiu, Toh Wei Soong and Sophie Soon are aiming to make a splash at this weekend’s Citi Para Swimming World Series held at the OCBC Aquatic Centre.
SINGAPORE: Three Singapore para swimmers who have qualified for the Paralympic Games in August are hoping to use an upcoming competition as a springboard to medal success.
Five-time Paralympics gold medallist Yip Pin Xiu, as well as Sophie Soon who made her Paralympics debut with Toh in 2020, have also qualified for this year’s Games. It was his second medal haul of the year. At the 2023 ASEAN Para Games held in Cambodia in June, he won three golds and two silvers, setting new tournament records and a new national record in the process.
Toh will be among 13 Singapore athletes going head-to-head this weekend. A total of 126 para swimmers from 21 countries are also competing, including two-time Paralympic gold medallist Takayuki Suzuki from Japan.
