SINGAPORE’s first-ever Olympic champion Joseph Schooling, who beat Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly in 2016, said today he will skip the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh.
“After careful consideration with my team, I have decided to pull out of the SEA Games. This was not an easy decision, but I am currently not at the level at which I hold myself to perform,” he said in a statement.
