Nepali swimmer Gaurika Singh, already a seasoned international competitor at 13, is poised to become the youngest Olympian in Rio when she hits the water in the 100m backstroke heats on Sunday.
“That’s quite cool, a bit unreal, too,” said Singh, who will be 13 years and 255 days old. It’s not surprising the London-based schoolgirl, who swims for English club Barnet Copthall, is undaunted by the prospect.Swimmer Gaurika Singh. THT file photo.
She has already lived through the 2015 earthquake that devastated Nepal, leaving nearly 9,000 dead.
“It was terrifying,” she said of the experience she endured with her mother, Garima, and younger brother Sauren while they were back in Nepal for the national swimming championships.
The family, in a fifth-floor apartment of a building in Kathmandu, sheltered under a table before using the stairs to leave the building as the aftershocks rumbled. “Fortunately, it was a new building so it did not collapse like others around,” she said.
