🥇FIRST PLACE. PERSONAL BEST. NATIONAL RECORD. 🇸🇬

What a swim from Gan Ching Hwee in Baku!

Ching Hwee powered home to take 1st place in the Women’s 800m Freestyle (SCM) at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup, stopping the clock at a new Personal Best and National Record of 8:15.73!

She takes a huge 3.12 seconds off her previous National Record of 8:18.85, set at the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) in Budapest in 2024.

And she did it while taking the win, finishing 1.78 seconds clear of second place. 🥇

8:15.73. PB. NR. FIRST PLACE. 🔥

What a campaign Ching Hwee is putting together in Baku!

🇸🇬 NAGOYA 2026: 1 GOLD, 1 SILVER & 3 NATIONAL RECORDS! 🔥

Taking on Asia’s best, Team Singapore delivered two medals, three national records, one personal best and seven season bests, a campaign to be proud of!

Shanti Pereira led the way, defending her women’s 200m title in 22.78s and adding 100m silver in 11.21s. Two medals and another golden chapter for Singapore athletics! 🥇🥈

Marc Brian Louis clocked a season best of 10.33s in the men’s 100m heats to reach the semifinals, where he ran 10.37s.

Vanessa Lee raised the national standard in the 10,000m with 36:00.95, while Nicole Low delivered a personal best of 36:48.31 on the Asian stage.

Ang Chen Xiang made it into the 110m hurdles finals and placed seventh with a time of 13.90s.

Thiruben clocked 1:55.76 in his 800m heat.

Our jumpers flew the Singapore flag in the finals too! Kampton Kam cleared 2.10m to finish eighth in the high jump, Gabriel Lee placed ninth in the triple jump with 15.71m, and Tia Rozario recorded 12.95m to finish 11th in the women’s triple jump.

Our men’s 4×100m squad earned their place among Asia’s finalists with a season best of 39.34s in the heats, before finishing eighth in the final. Our women’s quartet, Amanda Loo, Elizabeth-Ann Tan, Kerstin Ong and Shanti Pereira, also took on Asia’s best, carrying Singapore’s relay challenge onto the regional stage.

Our mixed 4×100m squad broke the national record twice, lowering it to 41.19s in the final. They fought for a place on the podium, finishing fourth and narrowly missing out on a medal.

Behind these results are years of work, sacrifice and belief. To every athlete, coach and team member: thank you for stepping up against Asia’s best and giving Singapore a team to cheer for. 🇸🇬👏
