Toh Wei Soong wins 100m backstroke silver, his fourth medal at Asian Para Games

Singapore swimmer Toh Wei Soong added a silver medal to his haul at the 2026 Asian Para Games, finishing second in the men’s 100m backstroke S7 final on Thursday (Oct 22). The 28-year-old defending champion clocked 1:16.09, behind China’s Ruan Jingsong, who set a new Games record of 1:12.16. India’s Tejas Nandakumar took bronze in 1:18.58. Toh had won bronze in his first three events. "I'm very harsh on myself sometimes. So this is more of what I expect in a race," he told reporters after the race. Toh has one last shot at gold when he competes in the 50m freestyle S7 on Friday. #aichinagoya2026 #mediacorpasiangames #asianparagames #asiangames2026 Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
