Daniel Liew Yao Xiang (Liew Yao Xiang, born 1 May 1981) is a former Singaporean swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] During his sporting career, Liew held a Singaporean record in the medley relay (3:51.16) from the 2001 Southeast Asian Games, and later represented Singapore at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[2] He also played for the Chinese Swimming Club before entering the national team.
Liew competed only in the men's 100 m breaststroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. After winning a silver medal from the Southeast Asian Games in Brunei a year earlier, his entry time of 1:04.95 was officially accredited under a FINA B-standard.[3] [4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including two-time Olympians Valērijs Kalmikovs of Latvia and Arsenio López of Puerto Rico. Coming from second on the initial length, he faded down the stretch with a poor swim to a seventh seed in 1:06.41, almost 1.5 seconds below his entry standard. Liew failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-seventh overall on the first day of prelims.[5] [6]
