She then took her second gold in the 100m Breaststroke in a new Thailand national record of 1:10.80, followed by silver in the 200m Individual Medley.<\/p>\n<p>As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Eing then went on to take gold in the 200m Breaststroke, winning in a time of 2:32.34; bronze in the 200m Backstroke with a time of 2:20.71, and finally bronze in the 100m Backstroke in a time of 1:04.78. Her total takings from the competition was three golds, one silver and two bronze medals.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether this was the most fulfilling competition to-date, Eing said, \u201cMy main aim is to beat my personal best times, and although I achieved that at Asian Age Group Championships I think my favourite competition I&#8217;ve competed in is the SEA Games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The times she achieved at the Asian Age Group Championships meant that Eing has in fact reached the Olympic Qualifying B Standard in three events, however, Thailand have chosen to take a wild card into the Olympics as a safety measure and this means that they are only able to take one boy and one girl to compete in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean Eing\u2019s chances of making the Olympics are over, there is still hope that she can reach A Standard in her remaining competitions before the games which will give her automatic qualification.<\/p>\n<p>One swimmer who is also gunning for Rio is <strong>Natthanan Chankrachang<\/strong>, who has already competed in two Olympics and is someone who Eing looks up to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNatthanan has remained at the top of her game for a very long time and is a very good role model,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>It is now Eing\u2019s dream to reach a final at the Olympics, and should that not be in Rio in 2016, it is highly likely it will be in Tokyo in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/?s=British+International+School%2C+Phuket\">Click here<\/a> to read more <em>Swimming World<\/em> stories
