SWIMMING: Quest Begins In Style

MSSM CHAMPIONSHIPS: Siew Hui bags two gold on first day in her target of ten

SELANGOR'S Yap Siew Hui inched closer to her quest of winning 10 titles in this year's MSSM swimming competition by effortlessly racking two gold medals on the opening day at Darul Ehsan Complex in Shah Alam yesterday.

Siew Hui, who won seven titles in last year's edition, set a meet record in the girls' 16-18 age-group 50m butterfly by finishing the race in 28.58 seconds.

The previous record of 29.34 was set by former national swimmer Leung Chii Lin seven years ago.

Sarawak's Leong Wan Ying came in second on 30.36 followed by Kuala Lumpur's Jia Yi (30.94).

However, Siew Hui was not too excited as she failed to surpass her personal best of 27.50 in the event.

The double gold medallist at last year's Islamic Solidarity Games won a second gold by clocking 1:11.76 in the 100m event.

Sarawak's Angela Chieng finished second in 1:13.80 followed by Penang's Heah Zi Xin (1:14.19).

But Angela later gained revenge by overcoming Siew Hui for the 200m freestyle gold.

"I missed training for three weeks in January due to dengue. I was the second member of the national team to get it after coach Paul Birmingham," said Siew Hui yesterday.

"The lay-off did affect my fitness and confidence. I still need to do a lot of work in the pool. It will take some time before I can clock faster times."

The 16-year-old is hoping to use the meet to gain confidence ahead of international meets.

"I do not want to add pressure by setting goals in this meet as I am now competing in a higher category.

"There are many good swimmers here but hopefully, I can win as many titles as possible," said Siew Hui, who has qualified for the Youth Olympics in Nanjing in August.

Christy Teh of Kuala Lumpur was the top performer on the opening day, clinching three titles in the girls' 12-and-under 100m backstroke, 50m butterfly and 200m freestyle.

KL's Steve Hoe, Penang's Dylan Wong and Selangor's Asmalia Filzati Redzuan were the other double gold medallists.

Sarawak's Welson Sim (boys' 16-18 age-group 200m), Tang Chong Heng (50m) and Angela (girls' open 800m) each set meet records yesterday.

In diving, Selangor's Farez Izzudin garnered 213.95 to bag the boys' 1m springboard gold followed by teammate Ng Zheng Yuan (165.70) and Sarawak's Enrique Maccartney (160.85).

In the girls' category, Sarawak's Kimberly Bong won gold by posting a 169.90 total ahead of compatriot and silver medallist Tracia Irene (146.75) and KL's bronze medallist Ong Ker Ying (145.15).

Angela Chieng of Sarawak won the 200m freestyle gold ahead of Yap Siew Hui.

SWIMMING: Christy Has Big Ambitions

KUALA Lumpur's Christy Teh is a star in the making.

The pint-size swimmer is making heads turn in the ongoing MSSM Championships at Darul Ehsan Complex in Shah Alam.

Christy made her debut last year in the girls' 12-and-under category but managed only one bronze medal.

However, the 12-year-old is making waves in this year's meet with four gold medals so far in her bag.

The Standard Six student with SJKC Yoke Nam recorded a personal best of 1:10.83 seconds to win the 100m butterfly yesterday.

On Monday, Christy claimed three titles with personal best times in the 50m butterfly, 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle events.

Christy was introduced to swimming by her uncle Alan Tan when she turned four before joining the state team five years later.

"My main event is the backstroke but I've already won two gold in butterfly. I did not have a good debut outing last year but it gave me motivation to train harder," said Christy yesterday.

"I spent hours in the pool to improve my strokes. It has finally paid dividends. I'm swimming in 12 events here but I missed the podium in one race. I hope to win more titles."

Christy hopes she will get spotted soon for a place in the national team.

"My ultimate dream is to represent the country but I know to get there I need to work hard. I am willing to put more hours to achieve my goals," Christy added.

Sarawak's Welson Sim broke his one year old record in the boys' open 1,500m by more than 10 seconds for the gold.

He clocked 16:02.88 to finish ahead of Selangor's Yeap Zheng Yang (16:34.42) and Sarawak's Ngu Jiung Wei (16:53.77).

"I may have broken my own record but I am not happy as my aim was to go under 16 minutes. I am, however, swimming a lot faster since joining the national team a year ago," said Welson, who is competing in nine events.

The competition continues today.

SHAH ALAM: Kuala Lumpur’s Christy Teh is making heads turn in the MSSM (national schools) swimming championships at the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre in Shah Alam.

The 12-year-old already has four gold medals so far in her bag after two days of competition.

The Standard Six student of SJKC Yoke Nam recorded a personal best of 1:10.83 to win her fourth gold in the 100m butterfly on Tuesday.

On Monday, Christy claimed three titles with personal best times in the 50m butterfly, 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle.

Not bad for someone who made her debut in the girls’ 12 and under last year but only went home with a bronze.

Christy said she was introduced to swimming when she turned four by her uncle Alan Tan before joining the state team five years later.

“My main event is the backstroke but I have already won two golds in butterfly.

“I did not have a good debut outing last year but it gave me the motivation to train harder for this year’s championships,” said Christy.

“It has finally paid dividends. I am swimming 12 events here, but I missed the podium in one race. I hope to win more events.

“My ultimate dream is to represent the country but I know to get there I need to work hard. I am willing to put more hours in the pool to achieve my goals,” she added.

Meanwhile, Sarawak’s Welson Sim broke his own record in the boys’ Open 1,500m freestyle by more than 10 seconds.

He clocked 16:02.88, finishing ahead of Selangor’s Yeap Zheng Yang (16:34.42) and Sarawak’s Ngu Jiung Wei (16:53.77).

Hosts Selangor lead the medal standings with a 14-10-8 total ahead of Kuala Lumpur (12-12-7) and Sarawak (7-9-8).
