but it is better for him to reject.  at least he can keep the record.

he and his coach should know that he could not get into final, based on the daily training record, don't tell me that they never measure the timing.

he is just trying the luck.

but for olympic swimming event, luck can only give him 0.1 sec the most.

If he was to reject, then  someone here will say he is so proud and don't want to represent Singapore (you are born to a nation where it gave you stability, safety, and peace to pursue your dreams means he/she has obligated loyal to the country...)

So represent also die, don't represent also die.. Maybe he should have migrate to another country at his peak, where his value is better appreciated (like selling majority stake of share at the peak of the price)..
