Swimming: Letitia Sim sets SEA Games record, but other winning streaks end for Singapore
Singapore’s Letitia Sim timed 31.03 in the women's 50m breaststroke - a Games record - to finish ahead of Thailand’s Jenjira Srisa-Ard, who beat her at the last edition of the Games.
Mikkel Lee took gold in the men’s 100m freestyle, setting a new personal best at 48.65 seconds, while Quah Zheng Wen took silver in a one-two finish.
But Singapore‘s swimmers were pipped to the wall in several other events. In the 100m backstroke, Quah Zheng Wen took bronze, behind Indonesia’s Jason Donovan Yusuf and Farrel Tangkas.
Heartbreak for Quah Jing Wen, who finished third in the 200m butterfly, behind Thailand’s Kamonchanok Kwanmuang and Vietnam’s Thi My Tien Vo. Quah had owned the 200m butterfly crown since the 2017 Games.
