With most of the country’s medals coming from the pool this year, it was no surprise to see Wong Zhi Wei claim yet another gold, his second of the Games after finishing in 27.22 seconds at the Men’s 50M Freestyle S13 final. Like his first gold at the 100M Freestyle, Zhi Wei also broke the National Record and his personal best time in this event.
The 20 year old, who will head home with two golds and one silver, said, “I felt I earned back my prowess as an athlete because of my accomplishments and so I felt really glad to be able to bounce back from all these challenges and achieve a better timing and better results than my previous APG. I’m very happy with what I’ve done."
