That time was both an SEA Games record and Singaporean record. It also cut under the automatic qualifying time for the Paris Games (21.96). Tan returned to win gold in the event in 21.95.<\/p>\n<p>Tan contributed to a stellar showing by Singapore, which won 22 gold medals and 47 total medals at the Morodok Tecno National Aquatics Center.<\/p>\n<h4>2023 SEA Games Medal Table<\/h4>\n<p><em>(gold-silver-bronze\u2014total)<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singapore 22-15-10\u201447<\/li>\n<li>Vietnam 7-3-7\u201417<\/li>\n<li>Thailand 4-11-7\u201422<\/li>\n<li>Indonesia 3-1-3\u20147<\/li>\n<li>Philippines 2-6-8\u201416<\/li>\n<li>Malaysia 1-3-4\u20148<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tan also won the men\u2019s 100 freestyle, in 48.80 seconds.

It won 13 gold medals there, including all three record. The 400 medley of <strong>Faith Khoo, Letitia Sim<\/strong> and the Quah sisters set a SEA Games and national record of 4:06.97.<\/p>\n<p>Sim had a monster meet. She set the Games record in the 100 breast at 1:07.94, a time that is within a second of the automatic qualification time for Paris.
