SIGHTS ON ASIAN GLORY
At the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore in July, Gan was the country’s top performer and its only finalist.
Just a year earlier at the Paris Olympics, she set national records in the 800m and 1,500m freestyle. She finished ninth in the latter, narrowly missing out on what would have been a historic final.
Gan has already set her sights beyond Bangkok.
Next year will bring the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, followed by the Asian Games in Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya, Japan.
