Thai Swimmer 'Noey' Kamonchanok Returns to Full Training for 2026 Asian Games
National swimmer Kamonchanok 'Noey' Kwanmuang has resumed full training following surgery, setting her sights on the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, Thai national swimming hopeful Kamonchanok 'Noey' Kwanmuang has returned to a full training regimen at the Thanyapura pool in Phuket. Under the guidance of Coach Xavier, she is preparing for the 20th Asian Games in Japan, with a specific focus on the 200-meter butterfly event.
This return to form follows a medical procedure on August 4, 2026, to remove her left fallopian tube. This surgery was a preventative measure following a history of recurring cysts, which had previously required medical intervention in 2019 and 2024. After a ten-day recovery period, she began light training in mid-August and has now successfully transitioned back to her complete program.
For residents and sports enthusiasts in Thailand, her recovery is a significant development for the national swimming team's prospects at the upcoming Asian Games. Her ability to maintain her training schedule despite recurring health challenges highlights the dedication of Thailand's elite athletes. While her return to full training is confirmed, her performance levels in competitive conditions remain to be seen as she continues her preparation for the international stage.
