Quah Zheng Wen is a Singaporean swimmer who competes in the 200 m and 400 m individual medley.[1]
In June 2012, he set a national record in the 200 m medley. At the 2012 Summer Olympics he finished 33rd overall in the heats in the Men's 400 metre individual medley and failed to reach the final. [2] Quah was Singapore's flag bearer for the 2013 Asian Youth Games.[3] He subsequently won three individual gold medals and one silver medal at the 200 m backstroke, 200 m butterfly, 200 m individual medley and 200 m freestyle events respectively. He also won the team silver and bronze medals at the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay and 4 × 100 m medley relay events.
In the recent 28th SEA Games held in Singapore, Quah took part in 12 events, winning seven golds, four silvers and one bronze. At the same time, he broke six Games records – three individual and three relays. In the men’s 4 × 100 m medley relay which consisted of Quah, Joseph Schooling, Clement Lim and Lionel Khoo, they finished the race in 3:38.25, erasing the old mark of 3:41.35 set in 2011.[4]
Quah's hobbies include drawing, reading, amongst others such as walking his dog Koda, a German Shepherd. He was educated at the Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and fared 43 out of the possible 45 in his International Baccalaureate exam.
In April 2016, Quah was announced as Brand Ambassador with Liberty Insurance Singapore for one year, as he gears up for the Rio Olympics.
