Not just a gold medalist in Beijing, Maria also a world champion in 2007 and number one holder in Pan American Championships while Davin is a Sea Games silver madalist in 2011.

That is the first round (16 athletes) but according to the......
competition guidelines, athletes seeded against the top 4 athletes  still have the chance to progress to the repechages group to compete for bronze medal hence the draw is not as bad as it looks for Cambodia.

Cambodia 800m Kieng Samorn finished the race nearly 10 seconds behind the other 8 athletes in heat 2 with a season best time of 1:55.26 and the 22 years old sprinter Chan Seyha finished 9th out of 9 contestants in Heat 5 of the 200m female with a time of 26.62.
