Olympic champion Joseph Schooling will not defend his men's 100m butterfly title after failing to qualify for the semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday (Jul 29).

Schooling finished last in his heat at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre, clocking a time of 53.12s.


The top 16 qualify for the semi-finals of the event. 

Schooling’s national record stands at 50.39s, which he achieved in the 2016 Rio Olympics. It earned him an Olympic record and a gold medal.

It's ok, this is not unexpected, need to face the fact that his timing for the past few years has never go below 52s.
We cannot expected him to go below 51s just because this is Olympics game.
Anyway at least he has done it before.

He is still trying to catch his breath throughout the interview! Clearly no stamina. Obvious sign he hasn't been training well.

He already made history.
Nobody can win him in Sg.
He has made us very proud b4.
This is enough already.

Sg strong sport is body building but it is not inside Olympic games.

of course,  cannot lah.
Last in the heat and cannot qualify for semi final, how to defer ?

if not, many people will apply to defer when they cannot qualify for semi final.
