A TIMELY BOOST FOR YIP
The Straits Times
|April 26, 2024
Her European Open S2 100m back win trumps her 2023 world c’ship timing
Four months from the Paralympics, Yip Pin Xiu received a confidence boost ahead of her title defence by claiming gold at the Para Swimming European Open Championships in Madeira, Portugal, on April 23.
The 32-year-old clocked 2min 17.20sec in the S2 100m backstroke final to touch the wall first, ahead of neutral athlete Diana Koltsova (2:31.55), Italy's Angela Procida (2:41.64) and four other European competitors.
Despite the victory, Yip noted that her timings have not been a reflection of her training.
She told The Straits Times: "I am happy with my performance in the 100m. But I think this year hasn't been fantastic so far because last year after the world champs, racing in Queensland and Melbourne's World Para Swim, the timings haven't been great.
