Jordan Rangkul Emas Ke-10
Shah Alam: Atlet Selangor Jordan Yip (gambar) mencipta sejarah tersendiri di Kejohanan Renang Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM).
Kejayaan merangkul emas ke-10 dalam kategori bawah 18 memberi petanda cerah buat Jordan untuk terus melakar nama sebagai perenang terbaik apabila beraksi di Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) Julai ini.
Lebih manis Jordan, 17, yang beraksi dalam acara 400m rampaian individu itu melakarkan rekod baru kejohanan dengan catatan empat minit 43.51 saat, memadamkan rekod milik perenang Johor Tia’a Faang Der 4:44.73s pada 2013.
Kuakannya terus bertenaga apabila meraih emas acara 50m gaya bebas dengan catatan 24.71s dengan emas ke-10 hadir dalam acara 400m rampaian berganti-ganti bergandingan bersama Ng Yi Hao, Ooi Joo Vern and Yee Shen Khoo.
Bagaimanapun hasratnya meraih emas ke-11 tidak kesampaian apabila menamatkan saingan di tempat kedua, tewas kepada rakan sepasukan Yi Hao dalam acara 200m kuak dada dengan gangsa milik atlet Sarawak Tan Choon Fatt.
“Ia sesuatu yang menggembirakan apabila dapat mencipta rekod baru di kejohanan ini. Ini membuktikan saya berada di landasan yang betul dan sasaran saya selepas ini adalah untuk melakukan catatan bawah 4:40.00s.
“Catatan yang dilakukan dalam acara 400m rampaian itu juga menyamai catatan terbaik saya yang dilakukan ketika beraksi di Terbuka Malaysia tahun lalu,” katanya.

SHAH ALAM: Rosalind Pang of Selangor capped her Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) swimming championships campaign with another two wins to bring her total haul to eight gold on the final day of competition today.
Despite having to compete against older swimmers, Rosalind bagged the girls under-18 400m freestyle gold in a time of four minutes and 51.06 seconds at the Darul Ehsan Aquatics Complex in Shah Alam.
The Sri Kuala Lumpur student then teamed up with Shannen Kay Chan, Nessa Yip and Liew Chern Xin to help Selangor win the under-15 100m freestyle relay in 4:18.38s.
Rosalind had also won eight gold in her final year in the under-12 category in 2013. No records were broken yesterday, though Selangor's Jordan Yip added another two wins in the boys' under-18 200m butterfly (2:13:85s) as well as the 100m freestyle relay (3:39.47s), where he teammed up with Ooi Joo Vern, Khoo Yee Shen and Tan Tsien Ee.
It brought his haul to a staggering 12 gold. Although Rosalind and Jordan amassed the medals it was not enough to see them claim the best overall swimmer awards, which is based on the ability to break records with older records counting for more.
Sabah's Janetty J. Fabian took the best female swimmer award. She had broken fellow Sabahan Leung Chii Lin's 13-year-old record en route to winning the under-12 50m backstroke.
Best male swimmer went to Sebastian Soon of Selangor as he broke Tia'a Faang Der's (Johor) four-year-old record when he won the boys' under-15 200m individual medley.
As expected, Selangor again emerged the overall champions of the MSSM Aquatics competition, which also includes water polo and diving, with a 63 gold, 35 silver and 16 bronze haul. The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur came in second on 17-20-22 while Malacca were third on 7-9-12.

Yip Yip Hooray For Jordan As He Makes It 12 In MSSM

SHAH ALAM: It’s a dazzling dozen for Jordan Yip.
The Selangor swimmer has won a stunning 12 out of the 15 events he took part in the boys’ 16-18 age category at the National Schools Sports Council (MSSM) swimming championships at the Shah Alam Aquatic Centre.
With 10 gold medals already in the bag, he went into Thursday’s final day of the swimming championships hoping to win three more.
He won two.
First, he won the 200m butterfly in 2:13.85, beating team-mate Ooi Joo Vern (2:15.48) and Sabah’s Wong Venn Chieh (2:15.76).
Then, he anchored the Selangor quartet to a victory in the 4x100m freestyle relay. Jordan, Joo Vern, Khoo Yee Shen and Tan Tsien Ee posted 3:39.47 – about a second off the championship mark set by another Selangor quartet in 2014.
He failed to make it three golds out of three when he could only finish sixth in the 400m freestyle.
Still, his 12-gold achievement was enough for him to be named the best overall swimmer in his age group.
Jordan had earlier won golds in the 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle; 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke; 100m butterfly; 200m and 400m individual medley; and 4x100m medley.
He also bagged two silvers in the 50m butterfly and 200m breaststroke.
“There were some good and some not-so-good performances from me over the past five days, but I really could not have asked for a better way to mark my last MSSM appearance with 12 gold medals,” said Jordan.
“Now, I hope to do well in Sukma (Malaysian Games in Sarawak in July).
“I’m giving myself another year or two to make the national team. Then, from there, I hope to kick start my Tokyo 2020 dream. I’m also looking to further my studies in the United States, where I hope to enhance my swimming career.
“I may be versatile ... but I hope to work harder to become the country’s top backstroke and individual medley specialist in the future.”
Selangor, who were confirmed as overall champions on Wednesday, ended their campaign with an astonishing haul of 63 golds, 35 silvers and 16 bronzes. Kuala Lumpur (17-20-22) were second and Malacca (7-9-12) third.
Sabah’s Janetty Fabian was named the best overall female swimmer for setting a new record of 33.95 en route to winning the Under-12 50m backstroke event. Her time broke fellow Sabahan Leung Chii Lin’s 13-year-old mark of 34.12.
Selangor’s Sebastian Soon was named the best male swimmer for breaking Johor swimmer Tia’a Faang Der’s four-year-old record in the Under-15 200m individual medley event. Sebastian clocked 2:14.73 to erase the old mark of 2:14.94.
Only six meet records were set in the five-day meet compared to nine last year.
Swimmer Welson Qualifies For Olympics In Style

PETALING JAYA: Welson Sim has become the first Malaysian swimmer to have qualified for the Olympic Games under category A.
He made the historic breakthrough in the men’s 400m freestyle at the Singapore national age-group swimming championships at the OCBC Aquatic Centre.
Welson also smashed his own national record of 3:52.83, set at the World Cup meet in Doha last November, en route to winning the final in 3:50.33 on Thursday
Taiwan’s An Ting-yao (3:55.45) took silver and Singapore’s Yeo Kai Quan (4:02.18) the bronze.
The 18-year-old Welson thus becomes the first Malaysian swimmer to dip under the Olympic A time of 3:50.40.
He had twice beaten the B qualifying time at the World Cup meets last year.
But those times did not guarantee him a place at the Olympics since the new qualifying system came into effect at the 2012 Olympics in London.
His latest effort would have earned him the bronze at the Incheon Asian Games in 2014 behind the two giants of world swimming – China’s Sun Yang and South Korea’s Park Tae-hwan.
National swimming coach Paul Birmingham, who broke the news, said he was not surprised with Welson’s outstanding achievement.
“I’m really happy with his result. His training over the last six months showed that he could do it.
“It’s just taken him more race practices to get the pacing better.
“I’m thankful to the National Sports Council (NSC) for giving us the funding to race,” he said.
Besides swimming, Malaysia also have representatives in archery, track cycling, diving, shooting and sailing for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.http://www.thestar.com.my/sport/swimming/2016/03/17/swimmer-welson-stands-tall-after-winning-olympic-games-ticket/
