Quah Ting Wen had qualified for Paris 2024 through the women's 4x100m medley relay, while Gan Ching Hwee received a "B" cut invitation.
Gan Ching Hwee swimming in the women's 400m freestyle finals at the Singapore National Swimming Championships on June 14, 2024.
At Team Singapore’s Olympics and Paralympics flag presentation ceremony on July 6, the 31-year-old’s name was noticeably missing from the 22-athlete Olympics list. Under WAQ rules, each relay team can field a maximum of two relay-only swimmers. For Singapore’s women’s team, only Letitia met the OQT in the 100m breaststroke.
As the 20-year-old is a freestyle specialist, it appears she would take the place of Ting Wen, who also swims the freestyle leg of the relay. Incidentally, there was also a selection tussle between the two swimmers for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
