Who is Fibriani Ratna Marita?
Fibriani Ratna Marita is an Indonesian swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events. At age fourteen, Marita became one of the youngest swimmers to mark their official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 200 m individual medley event. She swam in the first heat against six other competitors, including three-time Olympian Sherry Tsai of Hong Kong, and American-born swimmer Erika Stewart of Colombia. She finished the race in last place by five seconds behind Chinese Taipei's Lin Man-Hsu, with the slowest time of 2:28.18. Marita, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she placed thirty-eighth in the overall rankings.
Marita set two national records for the medley events at the 2009 Southeast Asian Games in Vientiane, Laos. She also missed out of the medal contention, when she finished fourth in the 200 m individual medley, with her personal best time of 2:21.00.
In 2010, Marita had a greater opportunity to participate in the first-ever Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, after securing her ticket from the Singapore National Age Group Championships, with a time of 2:23.98. She swam in the girls' 200 m individual medley, finishing fifth and sixteenth overall in the preliminary heats, outside her personal best of 2:23.92, six hundredths of a second ahead of her qualifying time.
