Dead last in the 100m butterfly heats.
His Olympic Record in 2016 was 50.39.
He is now 2.73 seconds slower.
This must be one of the worst, if not the worst, defence of an Olympic title.
Would be better not to have shown up.
Like Cotton Chan would say: "xia suay"

The Mediacorp commentators now defending Joseph for dear life.
Mark Richmond: "Don't forget Joseph Schooling is the only Olympian gold medallist we have. It is unrealistic to expect him to defend....."
Then WTF is Schooling going to the Tokyo Olympics for? To go and bonk all the chiobus in the Olympic Village?

What is Schooling's excuse?
MENTAL HEALTH?

TOKYO - Singapore's Joseph Schooling clocked 53.12 seconds in his 100m butterfly heat at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Thursday (July 27) night and will not defend the medal he won in 2016.
The 26-year-old placed last in the fifth of eight heats, which was led by Holland's Nyls Korstanje (51.54). He was 44th in the field of 55.
Teammate Quah Zheng Wen also missed the cut after clocking 52.39sec to finish fourth in heat four. He finished 34th overall.
Only the 16 swimmers with the quickest times will progress to the semi-finals which will be held on Friday morning.
American Caeleb Dressel, the world record holder, led all qualifiers with a time of 50.39sec, equalling Schooling's Olympic record.
Speaking to media at the mixed zone, Schooling said he felt off and “flat” before his race but was at a loss to explain why.

“It’s definitely not a fitness issue,” he stressed.

Schooling said he does not know exactly what his plans are for the rest of the year and beyond but he added: “I sure as hell don’t want it (his career) to end like this.”
He also said he does not believe a radical change in training methods is needed, and insisted the preparation he had for the Olympics under coach Sergio Lopez was as good as they could have done.
Asked if he had any regrets about how Tokyo has panned out for him, he shook his head: “No.”

To quote the Batman movie:

"Victory has defeated you."

 

[blackmondy]

This is what happens when you spent too much time schooling and too little time swimming.

Mark Richmond: "Don't forget Joseph Schooling is the only Olympian gold medallist we have. It is unrealistic to expect him to defend....."

A true Olympian will always strive to defend or at least put in a good show while defending the gold medal.

Those Mediacock propagandists were probably given instructions by their PAP or SNOC masters. Had Schooling won, you would have never hear the end of it from them.

its over , sad :(

Sad for patriotic gongkias. Hope you're not one of them.

 

[semiboiled]

Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[borom]

If possible they would import a CECA to replace him-

 

[OrLanChowHorFun]

i so very happy my prediction came out better.......... Schooling set new world record..............1st Olympic champ to get knocked out in 1st round.............and FAKE ANGMOH........Quah Zheng Wen joined Schooling in the scrapheap

 

[laksaboy]

If possible they would import a CECA to replace him-

CECAs aren't very good at swimming. Cricket might be good alternative sport.

Nothing wrong supporting him, one of us. You want to support amdk country also they dun need u

Oh I never know that Olympic has snake hunting game?

 

[syed putra]

Not easy to be the best in the world.
In the US, their champions are rewarded with sponsorships and scholarships. So the income motivates. Its not just for the country.

Being champ is one thing. Being able to maintain n defend is another and much harder.
