(Go For Gold Facebook Quoted If I’m not mistaken, she broke the age-group record of
Singapore’s first gold medalist Joseph Schooling in a tournament in Singapore just recently
which Schooling recorded in 2006.)
A comparison of Modjeh Scores to National Age Grade Records on Pinoyswimming.com.
Pinoyathletics will rely on these more so than the Batang Pinoy Records as these are more
comprehensive.
Hence the Comparison of Modjeh performance (left side) is to the National Under 13
Records (right side). I was informed that Modjeh is born in 2005 hence is in the Under 13
category still.
Modjeh 5 Golds
- 50m Butterfly 30.64 / Record 29.07/ Palaro Record 29.68
- 50m Breaststroke 38.54/ Record 35.35/ Palaro Record 36.63
- 200m Individual Medley 2:37.64/ Record 2:31.04/Palaro Record 2.33.71
- 100m Butterfly 1:10.34/ Record 1:05.20/ Palaro Record 1.06.91
- 100m Breast Stroke 1:23.88 / Record 1:18.73/ Palaro Record 1.19.35
While based on this analysis she is actually closest to the 200m Individual Medley Under 13
Record taking distance and time differentials into account. While she has 1-2 years left in this
age category. She is within 2 secs of the Palarong Pambansa record in 200 IM, and within the
range in the 50m Butterfly and Breast Stroke events.
The time of 2.37.64 ranks Modjeh 7th on the 13 and Under Rankings (pinoyswimming.com),
her main opponent in the Palaro might be Maglia Jayce Dignadice last years bronze medalist
in this event in elementary who has a comparable time of 2.37.90. All the other athletes
ranked above Modjeh are overage for Palaro 2018.
PSL has really found themselves a very potential athlete. Although its earlier days yet and
who knows what could happen with support etc.
