Swimmers forced to drop events

Last Updated on 13 December 2012
By Stephanie Ip
Phnom Penh Post Newspaper

Swimmers representing Cambodia at this week’s 11th FINA World Short Course Championships in Istanbul have been forced to drop out of two races due to apparent errors during the registration process.
Two of the three squad members, 19-year-old Hem Thon Vitiny and Maximov Chamraen Youri, 17, will race in just their stronger events having originally planned to compete in two each.
Vitiny will be competing in the women’s 50-metre freestyle on Saturday while Chamraen is down for the same race in the men’s category today.
Only 22-year-old Hem Thon Ponloeu will compete in two events  –  the men’s 50-metre freestyle today and the 50-metre breaststroke on Saturday.
National team coach Hem Kiry told the Post yesterday that he was unsure about what exactly went wrong during registration as world governing body FINA had not given them any reasons. Vitiny and Chamraen will no longer be participating in the 50-metre backstroke and 50-metre butterfly races, respectively.
The three swimmers competing in Turkey are no strangers to international events. Ponloeu and his niece Vitiny both received Olympic Solidarity placements to participate in the London Olympics over the summer, while this week’s race is Chamraen’s second time at the FINA World Short Course Championships.
Kiry remained optimistic that the swimmers will perform well because of hard work in training, while conceding that the medals would be “too hard to reach”.
“We have been training, not just two months before the competition, but for a whole year ever since the London Games. I hope they come back with good results,” said the coach.
Khmer Amateur Swimming Federation Secretary-General Hem Thon, a legend of Cambodian swimming during the 1960s and father and grandfather to Ponloeu and Vitiny, respectively, is accompanying the team in Istanbul.


COMMENTS FROM AQUATICS CAMBODIA MAGAZINE:

1.       Exact Age of Cambodian Swimmer Chamraen Youri MAXIMOV is 16 years old, not 17, as it was written at the Phnom Penh Post newspaper. He was born on 06 January 2006.

2.       We tried, to put comments on the Post website, after notice of several mistakes, in this and previous article, about swimming, our comments were received, for consideration, by web-administrator, but never put after the articles and no any explanations received why.  
     What is amazing, that Phnom Penh Post newspaper correspondent Ms Stephanie Ip has contacted us, and, in her funny childish manner has told to us that: if we want to tell people about participation of Cambodian swimmers in the World Swim Championship in Turkey, we should call to her.  We replied to her, that she is not our boss yet, so, we would not call with report to her, and, if she wants to know, from us, any info - she needs, to ask her newspaper, to let her call to us, from newspaper office telephone line, or invest some money and call to us from her personal mobile telephone line - we would be more than happy, to spend our time and share our knowledge, by the way - free of charge, with Phnom Penh Newspaper correspondents! Or, if her newspaper is so cheap, that its correspondents cannot afford to make a local phone call - she can see, at Aquatics Cambodia website - info about participation of Cambodian swimmers in this event, as well as all other helpful info about swimming sport development in our kingdom, but, just do not forget, we told to her, about copyright issue - in her article, if she would like to use, any info from our website, she should not to forget, put the source of information correctly! During this conversation, we understood, that this lady never ever wrote about aquatics sport development in Cambodia, as well as other sports, and simply knows nothing about this topics! And, after this conversation, the Phnom Penh Post Newspaper correspondent Ms Stephanie Ip has never called us back and just disappeared and never appeared again!
