MEDALS will be hard to come by for our swimmers as Vietnam and Singapore are expected to lock horns to see who will rule the pool. Hoe Yean has a shot at winning the 200m backstroke as he had clocked the fastest time this year. The Kuala Lumpur lad is ranked third and second fastest for the 200m (1:48.77) and 400m (3:50.52). But currently the Sarawakian is only ranked fifth and sixth fastest for the 200m (1:49.24) and 400m (3:57.88). In the 50m breaststroke, Jinq En has the fastest time (31.40) ahead of Thailand’s Jenjira Srisa-Ard (31.41).
