Singapore swimmer Quah Ting Wen's omission from Paris Olympics confirmed after appeal rejected

Singapore veteran swimmer Quah Ting Wen said the way she lost her spot in the 4x100m relay team for the Paris Olympics is unfair, but it has fuelled her desire to not quit the sport. The 31-year-old said she does not want the heartbreak to be the last memory of her decades-long career. World Aquatics has rejected Singapore's last-ditch appeal to include her in the Summer Games. Ting Wen is the most prolific athlete in SEA Games history with 60 medals from nine editions, including 34 golds. Alif Amsyar reports.

A summary of the whole thing: 1. For Singapore to form a relay team, you need 4 swimmers. 2 must be good enough to qualify for individual events as well, and the other 2 can 'free-ride'. 2. Singapore only had 1 who was 'good enough' - Letitia. By right, you couldn't even send a team. 3. However, SG was given a waiver. 3 people can 'free-ride' instead. Add in Levenia and the Quah sisters. Start the arrangements. 4. However, in June, Gan Ching Hwee swam a time that was 'good enough' as well. 5. Now World Aquatics wants their waiver back. They told SG: "You either slot in Gan into the relay, or you keep current lineup." 6. SG chose to go with Gan - and since she's a freestyler who can only do that particular leg, Quah Ting Wen goes.

[@tj3398]

Actual skill issues. what glory is there with getting in due to a technicality?

[@spiderjump]

@@tj3398 she is the better swimmer since she qualified for other events as well . gan can swim relay and compete 2 other individual events . so it makes more sense for gan to go .

[@w3s77]

Bad reporting. Wen didn't make the B cut, 1500 meter swimmer is closer to cut as very few women compete in the 1500. If Wen made the B cut, she would be swimming in Paris. CNA usually does a good job reporting, this story was terrible.

[@andrew-ng]

Thanks for the clarification. I would have otherwise felt that injustice was done to Quah.

[@keys4321]

Thankfully I wasn’t the only one who felt the same. I was trying to understand why she was disqualified for in that 4mins amidst all the info of her past glories. Not discounting it, but obviously we watch the news to understand the unfortunate situation.

[@w3s77]

@@keys4321 "A cut", "B cut" and Universality, with a limit of 852 total swimmers from all over the world is why she didn't make it. I looked at doing this many years ago as I was training with a swimmer with top 20 times from a tiny country, but he was the only one with even B cuts. Even if I could make B cuts, still wasn't sure if would be able to compete at the Olympics due to the formula.

[@danieltan2270]

Wen didnt make the B cut is obvious. I wouldnt say it is bad reporting for not stating that. World Aquatics had previously granted Singapore an exemption to allow three relay-only swimmers to compete instead of the maximum of two. But when World Aquatics offered Gan an invitation to participate in the women’s 1,500m event based on her Olympic consideration time - or Olympic “B” cut - of 16:10.61 clocked earlier this month, it is not clear in the reporting that they would also reduce from three to only two relay only swimmers to compete in the 4 x 100 m relay event if Gan accepted the offer. In the written CNA article, it is only stated World Aquatics offered Singapore the choice between sending Quah or Gan, who is also entitled to compete in up to two individual events. I feel SAQ need to be more careful in their adminstration. Wen got screwed by SAQ but to be fair i do not understand AQUA criteria. How can a long distance free style swimmer take the place of freestyle sprinter. Gan's B cut time is for 1500 m and not the 100 m dash. So in a way SAQ got screwed by AQUA and Wen got screwed by both SAQ poor maangement of relay team and by odd rules of World Aquatics. Unlike in 2021, i think Wen was not ranked high enough to earn a place via universality place this round. I am not sure i am right on this last point.

[@PS-js7wm]

@@danieltan2270 According to AQUA Universality Places, NOCs without any qualified athlete or relay team may enter a maximum of two (2) athletes. Jonathan and Letitia are both qualified through the OQT, henceforth there will be no Universality Places awarded to Singapore.

[@jeffreychua9269]

Moral of the story is to qualify on your individual ticket & not ride on others' coattails to qualify. Without Letitia, the relay team would not hv qualified. Gan met "B" cut while Ting didn't. If Gan is picked, we get additional 800m & 1500m slots. The choice is clear.

[@user-kt2cr5qi3h]

Exactly!

[@danieltan2270]

That is not true. The relay team and each member had to earn their spot through finishing with a good enough time. As a team, Quah, with sister Jing Wen and national teammates Letitia Sim and Levenia Sim, met the Olympic qualifying criteria for the 4x100m medley relay at the world championships in February. The top 3 teams at last year's World Aquatics Championships made the cut for Paris, while the next 13 countries with the next fastest times from both this year's and last year's World Aquatics Championships also qualify. Had Gan been in the relay team instead of Wen, they may not have finished fast enough.

[@jeffreychua9269]

@@danieltan2270 Ting has been far from her free best times. Jing has been stagnant around 59.xx. If the Sim sisters had not appeared, it would hv been Christie May Chue (breast)/Elizabeth Faith Khoo (back)/Jing (butterfly)/Ting (free) & they would not have qualified It was the Sim sisters that made the difference. Levenia knocked off a few secs off Khoo's best & of course at "A" cut, Letitia is also much better than Chue The Quahs want to go to the Olympics together. Sure, earn it with your own capabilities via an individual "A" cut or at least a "B" cut. And dont need to cry foul that your 4th Olympics appearance has been "taken away", the world doesn't own you anything I support Singapore Aquatics' decision on this

[@gammauniverse]

@@danieltan2270 Stop smoking weed.

[@danieltan2270]

​​​​​​@@jeffreychua9269This is a team event and not an individual event. Besides the Quah sisters, who else can be fielded and allowed Singapore to qualify for the medley relay? The rules do not need all relay swimmers to meet A cut times. Furthermore, the World Aquatics rules prioritise relay nominees over B cut nominees if i am not wrong. However our NSA has their own policy and Quah TW was sacrificed. B cut swimmersn would not be able to get you anywhere. Unlike the individual events, there are no Olympic “A” cut times for relay qualification. Without Quahs, Singapore would not have qualified for her first ever relay event and would only be able to send 3 instead of 5 swimmers now. And by the way, it is Letitia and nit Levenia that met the A cut time for her events. Is Gan as fast as Quah TW in the 100 m free? If not, arent we being forced to sent a weaker team because of some bad Aqua ruling?

I dun think its about this now. I believe you were never an athlete hence you made this comment. it is understandable to be so "logical". Not a knock on the younger girl, its very tough to just qualify for Olympics but to win a medal is a long way for her at this point.

Go search Dara Torres, Jason Lezak, and Anthony Ervin. Do you know why they can win? because their country supported them and thought out of the box. For Singapore to succeed in any sports, tell me how many families can afford it like Colin Schooling or even the Quah family?

[@MarcoJr666]

Tell me what is the spirit of the Olympics? Do you think every sport must produce a medal? Someone must be an example to encourage the younger ones to move there (Olympics). In the past, we have Ang Peng Siong as a swimming national inspiration before a relatively well-off Singaporean known as Collin Schooling came out from his own pocket to finance his son's swimming career. Tell me how many failed attempts have Singapore swimmers made before we have a Joseph Schooling? Tell me how many failed attempts have USA swimmers made before they win a medal. It's about promoting the sports and not just some $300 vouchers or sticking to the outdated rules explained by a dead person.

As another commenter said, this is BAD reporting. Let it be VERY CLEAR that Gan Ching Hwee earned her rightful spot via 1500m, and her presence in the Olympics also allows our country to field in one more event. Her only "mistake" was earning it AFTER the '3 relay-only swimmers' appeal. Had she earned it earlier, I doubt this would even be an issue as by default, the appeal probably wouldn't have worked. The rules are very simple and the reason for QTW's exclusion isn't that complicated. It's unfortunate that her exclusion was last minute, but if you are relying on an appeal for your spot in the Olympics, then I'm sorry but you're no longer that great. Learn to suck thumb, and congratulate your younger compatriot on her Olympics debut.

[@crehmenti]

Just to better understand the situation... so is it like a marathoner (Gan) gained entry to Olympics via 42km run, so a Track & Field runner (QTW) can't be sent - and that the marathoner would take the place of the sprinter?

[@Karthig1987]

She didn't reply on an appeal. They had to appeal because they said she's going then the other person qualified lol

[@PS-js7wm]

​@@crehmenti Due to World Aquatics' Olympic qualification criteria, a relay team can include two athletes who have qualified for individual events through the Olympic Qualification Time (OQT) or Olympic Consideration Time (OCT) and up to two additional athletes who did not qualify by OQT or OCT, totaling four athletes. Since Letitia and Gan qualified through OQT and OCT, Singapore Aquatics had no choice but to sacrifice one athlete, in this case, Quah Ting Wen. Conversely, if Quah Ting Wen (or even Quah Jing Wen or Levinia Sim) had qualified for an individual event through OQT or OCT, this unfortunate situation would not have occurred. In conclusion, World Aquatics should remove the controversial qualification criteria for relay events and allow direct qualification for the entire team. Nonetheless, the published qualification criteria for Paris 2024 still stand.

Stick to your rules and live in the well like a mountain turtle or frog.That's a dXXXb assumption, truly reflecting a mountain turtle or frog in the well-global view. Do you know there were swimmers in their late 30s or 40 years old who competed in the swimming Olympics? Age is not a barrier. Go search, Dara Torres and Anthony Ervin. Do you know why they can win? because their country supported them and thought out of the box. For Singapore to succeed in any sports, tell me how many families can afford it like Colin Schooling. Do you think our sportsmen or women can excel with some $300 vounchers?
