Defending the title is harder than competing for the first time to knock out the other swimmers defendingtheir title. That's the fact.

Well done bro. Thanks you and we are proud of you.... cheers.

Welcome back to Singapore and do your slavery NSF like all of us, and we all fuck Loong together.

Loong was a scumbag where his father installed SAF Scholarship just in time for him to siam slavery NSF. Did not do full time NSF righteously and was a dishonrable things to happen....

SAF Scholarship? What the fuck is this? Another scam like CECA?

In all honesty, I don't blame Schooling. He is a product of his coach, nutritionist and ancillary coaching staff.

There must be something wrong with all these idiots behind the scenes if your WR holder deteriorated to this stage.

Time to change your backroom people Schooling.

No one is blaming him. Just come back do to your NS.

BoooHooo....cry me a river!

If you were so affected, you should not have been there in the first place and saved us some expenses.
Don't cry mother father after the fact.

Chatri Sityodtong is an outright con man. He was the Chairman of Indiabulls Real Estate Trust that IPO at S$1 and dropped all the way down until almost no value and then delisted at a steep discount to NTA.

Now, Chatri Sityodtong is colluding with a director in Temasek's Heliconia capital and Temasek sank a lot of money to finance his One Championship cash burn that served to pay himself well. Singapore is really going to the dogs.

Now, he calls Joseph Schooling "brother" in the FB post, which makes me doubt the integrity of Joseph schooling.

Filial son, bad news affected his performance, blah blah... moral victory, to compensate for the lack of medal victory.

Chatri is once a motivational speaker in red dot.

 

[whoami]

"The reality is that every world championship athlete goes through ups and downs"

Hws this. PAP been a champion. Never once lost!

He definitely has to go on a diet. He has ballooned quite a bit (since the last Olympic) and this is a big disadvantage to his swimming profession.

Quote: "I can tell you that the Schoolings have been going through one of the most difficult and emotional times. His father was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Joseph has not only had the weight of the world on his shoulders, but he has also been going through tough times in his personal life. He is never one to make excuses though."

Playing the sympathy card!

When Schooling's father was diagnosed with cancer, should Schooling drop out or continue with participation in the Tokyo Olympics?
If drop-out, Schooling will have everyone's sympathy.
If Schooling decided to continue, it means many things:
Father's condition was not serious (yet).
The family wants him to continue.
Schooling assessed that his mental state allows him to continue.
Schooling decides to continue.

Well, if you decide to continue, do not use cancer as an excuse.
To Schooling's credit, he did not mention it; only this Chatri chap mentioned it.

So Schooling should be assessed solely on his swim performance.
To finish within a respectable time - acceptable and the whole country will sympathise with Schooling.
But, to finish a few seconds outside your Olympic record and qualifying time - have to be prepared for the criticisms.
All sportsmen and celebrities face criticisms, why can't Schooling?
