This is a story with a happy ending. It’s not about a fairy tale day. Instead, in the vast ledger of an athlete’s life, where defeats are registered and victories noted, it’s simply about a good day. A day which makes the decision to pursue sport as a career worth it. A day which vindicates practice and justifies the pain. A day which can’t erase the bad days but has the scent of a new day.
A day – or really two – in the life of swimmer Quah Ting Wen.
