"Tao intends to concentrate on her new business venture, the Tao Li Swimming Club, and her final year business management studies at UniSIM. She will not be retiring for now as she plans to compete at the SEA Games and Asian Games in 2017 and 2018 respectively."
"“My best at the Olympics is fifth, and if I can get a medal I will go. If not, then I won’t continue as it’s meaningless. Yes (there is sadness), but I went to two Olympic Games and that is quite enough for me. For the 2012 Olympics and Asian Games I put school aside to train … I have to study now and I have no time for competitions.” http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/swimming-tao-li-out-of/2424194.html
