With the Covid-19 pandemic pushing back the Olympic Games to 2021, local swimmers Joseph Schooling and Quah Zheng Wen will get more time to train for their events.
The pair have been granted extensions of deferment from full-time National Service (NS) by the Armed Forces Council, the Ministry of Defence said in a media statement on August 11.
Their applications, submitted in May, were supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).
Schooling, 25, and Quah, 23, have qualified for the coming Olympic Games in the 100-metre butterfly event and the 100-metre butterfly and backstroke events respectively.
