The olympic
dream remains out of reach for SEA Games gold medalist Katrina Ann Hadi and Png
Hui Chuen
The duo
finished 27th in the duet discipline in the London Olympic
qualification tournament for synchronized swimming on Sunday.
Katrina and
Hui Chuen scored 36.650 for technical merit and 36.850 for artistic impression
for a total of 73.500 points and did not make the second round.
Judging by
the standards from the qualification tournament, the Malaysia duo will have
raise the bar to score above 80.000 points to be in contention for the next
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Hungary
grabbed the last spot at the end of the second round with 80.540 points.
Katrina is
likely to be paired with a younger swimmer as Hui Chuen is 28 and may not be in
contention for the next games.
Katrina is
only 19 and will be reaching her prime by then as synchronized swimming is a
sport where one
North
Korea, South Korea and Japan join World Championship silver medalists China as the
four Asian representative for the duet discipline at the London Olympics.
