Toh Liying (born 2 April 1985), also known as Toh Liying, is a Singaporean former sailor, who specialized in the two-person dinghy ( 470) class. [1] Together with her 17-year-old partner Deborah Ong, she was named one of the country's top sailors in the double-handed dinghy for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in a distant nineteenth place. [2] Outside her Olympic career, Toh and her previous tandem Elizabeth Ong gave the Singaporeans a sterling silver medal in the women's 470 at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. [3] While pursuing to complete her degree in biomedical sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, Toh trained for the Games under the tutelage of her personal coach Craig Ferris. [4]
Toh competed for the Singaporean sailing squad, as a skipper in the women's 470 class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. [5] Building up to their Olympic selection, she and crew member Ong received a spare berth forfeited by New Zealand, as the next highest-ranked tandem vying for qualification, at the class-associated Worlds nearly eight months earlier in Melbourne. The inexperienced Singaporean duo clearly struggled to catch a vast fleet of world-class sailors under breezy conditions. [6] [7]
