Singapore swimmers fell short on semi-final spots at World Aquatics Championships: Head coach

a day ago

National swimming head coach Gary Tan says his team could have performed better at the recently concluded World Aquatics Championships. Despite some bright spots such as Gan Ching Hwee's stellar outing, too few swimmers managed to reach the semi-finals. Gan's success has also spurred the national body to ramp up development in distance swimming. Alif Amsyar reports.

Former South Korea coach Shin takes over at Ulsan HD

South Korean champions Ulsan HD have appointed former national team manager Shin Tae-yong as their coach, the K-League club said on Tuesday. The 54-year-old replaces Kim Pan-gon, who left Ulsan by mutual consent after the weekend's 3-2 loss to Suwon FC. Shin, who led South Korea at the 2018 World Cup and most recently worked as Indonesia coach, takes over with Ulsan seventh in the standings, 23 points adrift of leaders Jeonbuk Motors after 24 matches. Kim left after 13 months in the role having replaced Hong Myung-bo following his appointment as South Korea coach in July last year. Kim guided the club to the league title last season and was in charge during their involvement in the Club World Cup in the United States in June. Ulsan's first game under Shin, who last worked in the K-League in 2012 at Seongnam Ilhwa, is on Saturday against Jeju United.
