SINGAPORE – A fairy-tale start to Levenia Sim’s international swimming career for Singapore did not materialise, as she missed out on the women’s 100m backstroke final at the World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships in Netanya, Israel on Monday.
While this is some way off her personal best of 1:00.45 – which is under Tao Li’s 2012 national record of 1:01.60 – it was good enough to place her 10th among 63 athletes overall as she qualified for the semi-finals. She is also slated to swim in the 50m butterfly heats on Wednesday, as well as other back and fly events later on, before taking part in her first major Games at the Sept 23-Oct 8 Asiad in Hangzhou.
Jadon Yoong, 18, was eighth in the last of six men’s 100m breaststroke heats in 1:04.00, as he ended 21st out of 57 athletes. His final event will be the 50m breaststroke on Friday.
