As a team, Quah, with girl Jing Wen and regional colleagues Letitia Sim and Levenia Sim,  , met the Olympic qualifying conditions for the , 4x100m mix switch at the , world finals in February.
Of the four rowers, Letitia was the only one who met the ,” A” cut, in the 100m swimming.  , Unlike the personal events, there are no Olympian” A” cut days for relay certification.
As a result, the world’s governing figure, World Aquatics, granted Singapore an exemption that limited the number of athletes who could engage in a circuit to three instead of the maximum of two.
But, World Aquatics afterwards offered Gan an invitation to participate in the children’s 1, 500m function based on her Olympian thought time– or Olympic” B” cut – of 16: 10.61 clocked earlier this month.
Swimmers who meet the Olympic qualifying time, or” A” cut, will automatically be admitted to the Games and will be invited to compete if they do so in the” B” cut.
Finally, World Aquatics gave Singapore the option of sending Quah or Gan, who both have the right to engage in separate occasions.  ,
SAQ chose Gan, a choice that led to Quah’s charm.  ,
Quah noted that it was humorous that she helped Singapore achieve its goal of the switch but will not participate as it stands.  ,
” I was the one of the four to get Singapore’s first relay team to the Olympics, but the same group will likely not get competing at Paris”, she said.  ,
Quah claimed that SAQ had informed her on Sunday that it was pursuing a separate elegance with World Aquatics to allow both Gan and Quah to compete in the Olympics.  ,
NOT THE FIRST TIME ,
Quah claimed that the latest collection row had already occurred in 2021, when she and Gan were also competing for Olympic spots that year.  ,
There was a debate over whether to give Quah or Gan up next. Gan was originally chosen by a committee of the Singapore Swimming Association ( as SAQ was then known ), but Quah was chosen after an appeal.  ,
Quah told CNA that her issue was not with who goes to the Olympics, but rather with how she had been given a confirmation of her location only to have it taken apart.  ,
The most upsetting aspect of this is how this is not the first day this is occurring, she said.  ,
She argued that SAQ could have been more specific and precise about who it would send to the Games despite the way the world’s governing body allocates Olympic locations.  ,
She said,” I do not want this to ever have an impact on people again,” and that’s what I said three years ago.  ,
