SHAH ALAM: It is all systems go for Phee Jing En as the national swimmer hopes to dip below her national record in the 100m breaststroke event in the Malaysian Invitational Age Group Championships at Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre.
The 18-year-old set a new national record of 1:08.99 at the recent Singapore Age Group Championships and the swimmer believes she can further improve her mark to brighten her chances of qualifying for the Rio Olympic Games in August.
Her national record in the 100m race is inside the ‘B’ Olympic qualifying time of 1:10.22.
The ‘A’ time, which guarantees an Olympic spot, is 1:07.85.
“I think is it unrealistic to meet the ‘A’ time but I believe I can dip below my national mark.
I did not taper for the Malaysian Age Group meet but I will do my best in the 100m race,” said Jinq En today.
The 100m breaststroke event is scheduled for Sunday.
Jinq En will also have a chance to better her national record in the Malaysian Open in May and also two meets in Europe, the following month.
The swimmer won the girls’ open 50m breaststroke race today in 32.06.
Phuket-based Wong Fu Kang is also raring to push himself to the limits to qualify for the Olympics in the men’s 100m breaststroke.
He has met the ‘B’ qualifying time after clocking 1:02.46 en route to the gold medal at last year’s Singapore Sea Games.
The ‘A’ qualifying time is 1:00.57.
“Anything can happen in swimming. I have improved a lot since I moved to Phuket 16 month ago. My coach Simon Jones has been helping me clock good times,” said Fu Kang, who won the boys’ 15-17 breaststroke event in 28.78 today.
Hong Kong lead the medal tally in the Malaysian Age Group Championships with a haul of 33 gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze, followed by Selangor (17-22-26) and Kuala Lumpur (12-13-13).
