It’s no go for backstroker Jian Han in the swimming pool


HE produced a standout performance at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast in April but it was a different Tern Jian Han on show at the Jakarta Asian Games.

The 22-year-old ended his campaign on a low note when he failed to reach the top-eight final for the men's 50m backstroke at the Gelora Bung Karno Aquatic Centre yesterday.
