Entering the race with the fastest-seeded time, she faded down the stretch to pick up a sixth seed in a poor time of 1:08.15. Singhal's swim had also been overshadowed by fever and arm sprain that shortened her time for proper training and concentration.<ref>{{cite news|title=Uganda: It's Speedo-clad Supra's Turn|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/200009200002.html|work=New Vision|publisher=AllAfrica.com|date=20 September 2000|accessdate=24 June 2013}}</ref> Singhal failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fifty-second overall in the prelims.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Women's 100m Freestyle Heat 1 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=174 |access-date=14 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archive-date=19 August 2011 |df= }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Results from the Summer Olympics – Swimming (Women's 100m Freestyle)|url=http://www.canoe.com/2000GamesResults/sep20.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010415091142/http://www.canoe.com/2000GamesResults/sep20.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 April 2001|publisher=Canoe.ca|access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Results from Swimming – Day 5 Prelims|url=http://static.espn.go.com/oly/summer00/results/swimming5.html|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Canoe.ca|accessdate=19 June 2013}}</ref>
