While many of her teammates were competing at the Fina World Championships in Budapest last week, Quah Ting Wen chose to stay in Singapore as she had a bigger focus: the July 28-Aug 8 Commonwealth Games. The 29-year-old chose to forgo her seventh outing at the world meet to...

"I wanted to use this meet to take more risks, like changing my dive or trying different race strategies. I'm very pleased with my performance here."

At the SNSC, Quah - who did not taper for the meet - touched the wall in 27.87sec in the 50m butterfly and 25.65sec in the 50m freestyle, winning both events. Elite swimmers usually taper - reduce their swimming volume and intensity - leading into an important meet in order to rest their bodies and minds to swim fast.

"But then, your results also stay consistent. So I know that if I want to go under 25 seconds for the 50m free or get better for the 100m butterfly, I have to push boundaries."
