NATIONAL SWIMMER HOE YEAN SPLASHES HIS WAY TO 400M FREESTYLE GOLD IN SINGAPORE


KUALA LUMPUR, National swimmer Khiew Hoe Yean splashed his way to the men’s 400m Freestyle gold medal at the Singapore National Swimming Championships today.

Despite winning the gold medal, the time clocked by Ho Yean, 21, was not enough to earn him a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Meanwhile, in the women’s category, National swimmer Phee Jinq En managed to win a silver medal in the women’s 50m breaststroke after clocking a time of 31.94s.
