Teong Tzen Wei, who & nbsp, solidified his position as the region’s best this year by setting Games records for the 50-meter butterfly( 23.04s ) and the freestyle( 21.93s ), respectively.
Since 2022, just two athletes have been faster in the 50m slalom, and few have surpassed his particular best of 23.03s in a caterpillar. He is also among Asia’s best.
Teong placed fifth in the 25-meter people’s butterfly remaining at the 2022 FINA World Swimming Championships in Melbourne. His effort of 22.01s matched the Eastern record he set in the heat of the competition a day earlier.nbsp.
Also, keep an eye out for debut Nicholas Mahabir. & nbsp,
The 17-year-old, who resides in the United States, currently holds the 100-meter swimming federal record. His period of 1.00.37 is considerably faster than the original Games record of 1.01.17, which was set by Pham Thanh Bao of Vietnam at the previous Games.
Mahabir’s 28.09s in the 50-meter swimming at the McDonalds Queensland Championships the previous summer is also quicker than Pham, who won the race in Hanoi with a 29.28s. Andrew Goh of Malaysia, who set a national record of 28.10 seconds earlier this year, may have an impact on this competition.
Then there is Quah Jing Wen, who is 22 years old. Jing Wen won six medals at the 2019 Games, three centuries after her older sibling Zheng, and she followed suit in Hanoi with six of her own.
Jing Wen won three individual competitions( the 100m butterfly, the 200m medley, and the 400m team event ) as well as three team events( 4x100m freestyle, 4x200m relay ).
At the age of 22, she also has 15 Games medals, and Phnom Penh may include a few more.
