KUALA LUMPUR: Elise Wong of Selangor smashed a 10-year-old record in the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Sports Complex in Shah Alam today.

The 11-year-old clocked 30.94 to surpass the previous record of 31.09 set by national swimmer Hi Siew Siew in 2006 for the gold medal in the girls’ Under-12 50m butterfly event.

Teammate Lim Shun Qi also dipped inside Siew Siew’s record in 31.01 for second place while Kuala Lumpur’s Ng Zi Syuen took third with 32.57.

Elise also won the 200m freestyle event by posting 2:22.69. “I am delighted at winning two gold medals on my debut in the meet. I hope to do better in my other events,” said Elise, who aspires to become the country’s first Olympic gold medalist in swimming.
