AYG Swimming Event
Thursday, July 23, 2009
Thunderous screams, and cheers, as the Singapore crowd gave support to their home team. The Young Team Singapore Ambassadors also gave their support, by coming for the event.
It was a tough race for the 4x100m medley for girls, as the other 7 teams were fighting equally hard. Kazakhstan and Singapore were the initial lead but it was down to Kazakhstan at the 100m mark.
The lead then became a third placing by the 200m mark for the Kazakhstan, with Korea as the lead. That, however, did not dampen the swimmer’s spirits. Fellow supporters cheered even louder for their home team. Singapore, who was 4th by the 300m mark, fought even harder and succeeded in catching up with the Kazakhstan.
Singapore eventually came in 2nd runners- up by the end of the race alongside Hong Kong, as the runner’s up and Korea as the winner. Indeed, the Singapore swimmers’, Quah Ting Wen, Lynette Lim, Amanda Lim, Roanne Ho showed their never ending determination in representing their country.
