The Olympics debutante was the first Singaporean in action at the Tokyo Olympics.
The top three rowers in her heats – Ireland’s Sanita Puspure, Mexico’s Kenia Lechuga, and Greece’s Anneta Kyridou have made it to quarter-finals while the bottom three, including Poh, Trinidad’s Felice Aisha Chow and Uganda’s Kathleen Noble will compete in the repechage on 24 July.
