TANNY: Singapore - FINA/ARENA Swimming World Cup 2008
Written on: Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Time: 6:21 PM
The event was held at the Singapore Sports School (SSS) on the 1-2 November 2008. The Heats and Finals were both held on the same day, morning and evening.
I was there as one of the officials on duty and the live race was AMAZING. Although it was not as Grand as the Olympics, but the atmosphere was there as all the 800 local fans were cheering on the local HOT swimmer, Tao Li.

Said by Tao Li to asiaone news, "because of the exams, I didn't train as hard for this World Cup as I did for the Asian Games or the Olympics."
In this meet, it was mentioned that for her 50m Women's Butterfly " the Republic's swimmer clocked 25.93 - smashing her previous short-course best of 26.48 set in last year's event.It also eclipsed her long-course national record of 26.73, when she won the Asian Games gold in the event at Doha in 2006."
Tao Li also did well in her pet event, 100m Women's Butterfly Finals, which brought her being the first Singaporean swimmer to clinch the Gold medal in the Olympics this year, as she clinched the Gold Medal for this event.
Today, Tao Li will be leaving Singapore for the remaining World Cup Series stops over the next three weeks - in Moscow, Stockholm and Berlin.
Another swimmer that was pleased with the results obtained in Singapore's Short Course Meet was is the Olympic 1,500m freestyle gold medallist Oussama Mellouli from Tunisia.
The 24-year-old won four of the six events he participated in over the two-day World Cup - the 400m individual medley, and the 200m, 400m and 1,500m free.
But it was the event he did not win yesterday - the 200m IM - that pleased him most, as he shaved about 3 seconds off his personal best, despite coming in second just behind Brazil's Thiago Pereira.
He told asiaone news "There must be something good about Singapore that made me swim so quickly. It feels great to be jumping in the water and getting the best times."
