The 19 gold haul is more than triple that of the next closest nation, Vietnam, which won six.<\/p>\n

At the same time, this is the swimmers\u2019 lowest in four editions, matching the same number they won at the 2017 Games. They won 22 at the 2023 edition, 21 at the 2022 Games and 23 in 2019.<\/p>\n

The threats posed by a number of countries in the region were also evident.<\/p>\n

In particular, Indonesia\u2019s Jason Donovan Yusuf and Thailand’s Kamonchanok Kwanmuang ended longstanding winning streaks held by various Singaporean swimmers in the men’s 100m backstroke as well as the women’s 100m and 200m freestyle events.<\/p>\n

The Philippines\u2019 Kayla Sanchez also anchored her team to the women’s 4×100 freestyle relay title, the country’s first ever, while Thailand upset Singapore in the women\u2019s 4x200m freestyle relay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will always be someone that comes through,\u201d said Tan. \u201cWe can only stick in our lane and focus on our own mission, and that mission is to look forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
