Singapore’s most decorated Paralympian, Yip is the , current world record holder in the event, and even holds the world record for the , 50m freestyle S2.
Earlier in the day, she topped the burns, finishing close to four seconds back of her closest competitor , Aceves.
” It’s ( about ) having to be really consistent”, said Yip. Being organized and consistent is another thing, but education painful is one thing. I’m going out there to represent Singapore and demonstrate to the universe what we are and what we can do.
The six-time Paralympic gold medalist who is currently competing is one of three Team Singapore par athletes who has qualified for the upcoming Games. Afterwards in the competition, Toh Wei Soong and Sophie Quickly may also get to the lake.
Yip will thrive in the 50-meter freestyle S2 as a follow-up.
” The 100 meters really is the main competition for me,” I said. But to conclude this immediately with great benefits, I think it’s been phenomenal”, she said.
” ( For the ) 50m, I’m just going to give my best and swim my heart out, and we’ll see what happens”.
