[Sg] - The Quah siblings are disgusted and furious at SNOC
- Thread starter UltimaOnline

I don’t understand this shit.
They chose to go with a younger and faster swimmer apparently, but the older disgruntled Quah was upset because she wasn’t given ample notice?
So what? Here’s a fact of life: Life’s unfair…and then you die!

Self entitled face
this elite is protected by PAP but sorry in olympics, you are not protected
all along that quah ting wen was slotted to go until Gan made it to the O.C.T list in January this year hence taking away Quah Ting Wen's slot.
Who gives a shit about who the fuck swims etc .. singkieland win 1 or none medals does not make me richer or improve my economic well being.
S'pore Aquatics unsuccessful in appeal to World Aquatics to have Quah Ting Wen in Olympics team
Quah has been replaced by Gan Ching Hwee in Singapore's swimming contingent.
Singapore Aquatics (SAQ) has failed in its appeal to have both Quah Ting Wen and Gan Ching Hwee compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics
In a Jul. 8 press release, SAQ President Mark Chay said that the association had appealed to World Aquatics to "allow Singapore to send our best possible swimmers to the Olympics".
"But that was not to be and we will have to respect the decision. We will still compete in seven events despite the unsuccessful appeal and we urge everyone to get behind our team of five who, I have no doubt, will do us proud."
A separate appeal by Quah to SAQ was also rejected on Jul. 7, according to an email seen by Mothership.
Quah's response
Speaking to Mothership, Quah said that she was "very disappointed" at the outcome of the appeals but was not surprised.
"I'm just exhausted from three days of having to deal with this — it's been tough, a month out from the Olympics.
I feel it kind of puts a damper on the whole thing."
She expressed hope that SAQ could review its selection policy to avoid similar situations for other swimmers in the future.
"Make it clearer, cover all your bases, look at the international body's policy — streamline yours with that as well as possible... so that it won't get so messy."
"I also have to mention that I am thankful that while making my appeal, there have been people in institutions that have tried their best to help me," added Quah.
"I am very grateful for them doing that."
SAQ appreciates Quah's dedication and commitment
In SAQ's press release, Chay put on record SAQ's appreciation to Quah "for her dedication and commitment she has shown in this Olympic campaign".
“We understand her disappointment and empathise with her. We look forward to Ting Wen being an important part of our 2025 plans when we host the World Aquatics Championships and compete in the SEA Games.”
Background
Quah was previously set to swim at the Paris Olympics as part of Singapore's women's 4x100m medley relay team with her sister, Quah Jing Wen, and the Sim sisters, Letitia and Levinia Sim.
The team had qualified for the Paris Olympics on Feb. 18 when they finished ninth overall in the heats of the World Aquatics Championships and set a new national record of 4 minutes 2.88 seconds.
As Letitia was the only swimmer of the four to qualify to compete at an individual event by meeting the Olympic qualifying time (or "A" cut), World Aquatics granted Singapore an exemption to allow three relay-only swimmers to compete instead of the maximum of two.
World Aquatics confirmed Singapore's entry for the relay on Jul. 4.
However, the next day, World Aquatics subsequently invited Gan to swim at the Olympics through her Olympic consideration time (or "B" cut).
SAQ was then informed that it would have to choose between sending Gan or one of the relay-only swimmers.
"SAQ’s Selection Committee met and considered all permutations for the best outcome for the relay team of Letitia, Gan, and two more relay-only swimmers," read the association's press release.
"The committee decided on the following line-up: backstroke (Levenia), breaststroke (Letitia), butterfly (Jing Wen) and freestyle (Gan)."
The local swimming association added that its decision to send Gan instead of Quah was governed by its selection policy, which has been in place since June 2023.
After she was informed by SAQ of their decision, Quah lodged an appeal to the local association to have her position in the team reinstated.
That appeal was ultimately unsuccessful after an SAQ appeals committee met on Jul. 7 to consider her case.

Fucking losers.Dont waste people's money please.
She argued that this is her last chance for the olympics and SNOC should consider her.
She is selfish. Just let the younger Gan Ching Hwee take the slot and wishing her all the best lah. Kick up storm, stir shit reveals her lousy character and upbringing.She argued that this is her last chance for the olympics and SNOC should consider her.
Unlike Cantonese dogs like @cat, @sbfuncle, @bart12 and @GUDANGARAMThe surname Gan commands respect:
顏家有女初長成
淑德賢良早有聞
敏捷身手冠獅城
讚美之聲震爆棚
粵狗狼心不是人
擾人清夢敲響門
褻瀆裕廊處女神
放火燒你祖先墳
She has already been to Olympics 3 times...please lor.. how much taxpayers money u want to spend on a 31yo bitch who has long pass her prime sporting age!
我干她妈的鸡白
吃臭鸡白会丧命
