SINGAPORE: Three former coaches were charged on Thursday (Mar 12) with conspiring to submit falsified finswimming results, which led to six finswimming athletes being selected for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games.
Finswimming is split into several categories, with swimmers using monofins resembling fish tails and others wearing bifins or stereofins - those typically used by scuba divers.
According to an archive of the 2023 SEA Games website and a copy of the finish sheet uploaded online by Sportalsub.net, a team comprising Bernice Ting, Jamie Ang, Vanessa Ong and Jovita Ho represented Singapore in the 4x200m surface relay at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.
They finished last in the four-team final, about 50 seconds behind winners Vietnam.
