SHAH ALAM: Olympic-bound Welson Sim has his sights set on breaking his own national record when he competes in the boys’ open 200m freestyle event at the Malaysian Invitational Age Group Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre tomorrow.
The 18-year-old’s national record of 1:47.67 set in the recent Singapore Age Group Championships is the 15th fastest in the world so far.
Welson will compete in the 200m and 400m freestyle disciplines at the Rio Olympic Games in August.
The swimmer is also the national record holder in the 400m freestyle with a time of 3:50.33.
“The meet is not a focus event for me but I will try my best to make an impression. I will also compete in the 1,500 freestyle race tomorrow,” said Welson.
The Sarawakian, who won the 400m freestyle gold medal yesterday, did not have a fruitful day today.
He started the day with a silver medal in the boys’ open 100m backstroke before finishing fourth in the 50m freestyle. His team, Sarawak were disqualified in the 4x100m medley race. However, those were not his pet events.
Hong Kong still lead the medal tally with a haul of 50 gold, 27 silver and 18 bronze, followed by Selangor (22-35-39) and Kuala Lumpur (17-19-19).
