On September 3, Toh Wei Soong clocked a time of 29.90sec at the Men’s 50m Butterfly S7 Heats to finish second out of 12. This means that he will advance to the finals which will be held on September 3 at 4.58 pm. 

Earlier in the Games, on August 31, Toh Wei Soong broke his own Men’s S7 50m Freestyle national record after he clocked 28.65sec and finished seventh out of eight swimmers in the finals. 

Despite the result, Toh was extremely pleased with his performance. 

“I’m in a very good head space now and the plan is just to continue maintaining this good feeling, this confidence, going into the race on Friday. There are targets and expectations I have for myself, but when it really comes down to it, focusing too hard on those expectations is not what’s going to get you the results,” Toh said. 

Tee Wee Leong and Ang Kee Meng, unfortunately, failed to finish the Men’s B Time Trial 32km Finals on August 31 due to a broken chainring on their bike.

“Unfortunately, we had a mechanical issue on our tandem bike where the chainring broke. We tried many times to fix it but it just kept coming off whenever we cycled for a few metres. I would say we faced a Murphy’s Law situation, where Mr Murphy happened to cycle past us. Overall we are really happy with our debut results, hitting our targets of breaking personal best and getting into the top 10 in both events. I would say it has been a fruitful Games,” said Tee.

Earlier, the pair clocked a time of 1:10:886 and managed to achieve a personal best in the Men’s B 1000m Time Trial where they finished eighth out of 10.

I am glad my horse is as willing as her age can be and thus I will do my best and together we hope to contribute to the team score,” said Tan.
