PHNOM PENH — Jonathan Tan learns fast. Almost as fast as he swims. In 2021, he missed out on qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics by 0.1sec. Twelve months ago, he lost in both the 50m and 100m freestyle finals at the Hanoi SEA Games, finishing second to teammates Teong Tzen Wei and Quah Zheng Wen.
He was marginally slower in the evening's final but his 21.95 was still enough to win, ahead of his more illustrious teammate Teong and Vietnam's Jeremie Luong . In fact, only Japan's Shinri Shioura , Katsumi Nakamura, China's Yu Hexin and Ho have posted faster times.
