TOKYO (Aug 27): For someone who had just broken the Asian record at the Paralympic Games, national swimmer Brenda Anellia Larry sat in the toilet of the tournament venue a forlorn and disconsolate figure.

All because she failed to fulfil her mission: to dip below one minute in the women’s 50-metre (m) butterfly event in the S4 (physical impairment) category at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre here today.
