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.

The Star : Tenacious Jordan swims to 10 golds in MSSM meet
SHAH ALAM: It’s 10 golds – and counting – for Selangor swimmer Jordan Yip at the National Schools Sports Council (MSSM).
The 17-year-old has bagged three more gold medals to take his tally to an awesome 10.
He was simply unstoppable at the Shah Alam Aquatic Centre here on Wednesday.
First, he romped home in the 50m freestyle in 24.71. Then, just like his idol Kosuke Hagino of Japan, Jordan showed his versatility by winning the 400m Open individual medley (IM) in record fashion – clocking 4:43.51 to erase the 4:44.73 set by Tia’a Faang Der of Johor in 2013.
Hagino won the 400m IM bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012 and is one of only two Asians to have been named Swimmer of the Year.
Jordan’s third gold came when he swam the butterfly leg to help his Selangor team-mates Khoo Yee Shen, Ng Yi Hao and Ooi Joo Vern triumph in the 4x100m medley in 4:05.84.
Jordan had earlier won golds in the 100m and 200m freestyle; 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke; 100m butterfly; and 200m individual medley.
He also claimed a silver on Wednesday – clocking 2:27.26 to finish behind team-mate Yo Hao (2:26.00) in the 200m breaststroke.
It was his second silver in the meet, having finished second in the 50m butterfly on Sunday.
But he’s not done yet.
He has three more races on Thursday – 400m freestyle, 200m butterfly and 4x100m freestyle relay.
“I’ve won medals in all the events I entered for ... I will try to win three more on the final day tomorrow,” he said.
“I’m feeling good ... I’m happy to have clocked a personal best in the 400m individual medley.
“It was unexpected ... to break Faang Der’s meet record shows I’m on the right track.”
Jordan will switch his focus to the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Kuching where he hopes to make a golden debut in the 200m and 400m individual medley events.
The Selangor quartet of Yasmin Batrisyia, Lim Shun Qi, Elise Wong and Amanda Sofea were the other record breakers on Wednesday.
They clocked 2:14.70 en route to winning the girls’ 12 and under 4x50m medley relay and erase the previous mark of 2:15.76, which they set last year.
Selangor are confirmed as the overall champions for aquatics with one day to go with a haul of 47-31-15. Kuala Lumpur (13-15-19) are second and Malacca (5-9-12) third.

The Star : Listen to you grandmother's advice and you'll do well!
BY LIM TEIK HUAT
SHAH ALAM: Sabah’s Janetty Fabian is proof that listening to your grandmother’s advice is worthwhile.
Janetty heeded her granny Lucy Binijian’s advice and followed in the footsteps of her aunt Jossie Fabian, who is a state swimmer.
And now Janetty is beginning to make a splash!
The 12-year-old Kadazan girl smashed the 13-year-old record of 34.12, set by former SEA Games gold medallist Leung Chii Lin, on her way to winning the girls’ 12 and under 50m backstroke in the National Schools Sports Council (MSSM) swimming championships on Tuesday.
Janetty, who was born in Penampang, is happy to have completed her collection of medals in only her second MSSM outing.
“I represented Sabah last year but did not win any medals. I’m happy to get the gold as I got two silvers (50m breaststroke and 50m butterfly) and two bronzes (100m backstroke and 100m breaststroke) from the first two days of competition.
“It’s a bonus to break Chii Lin’s record. She’s also from Sabah and she swam at the Olympics before. I hope to be like her one day,” said Janetty.
She hopes to grab a second gold for Sabah in the 50m freestyle at the Shah Alam Aquatic Centre on Wednesday.
Selangor’s Sebastian Soon was the other record-breaker on Tuesday.
The 15-year-old clocked 2:14.73 in the boys’ 13-15 200m individual medley to dip under Johor swimmer Tia’a Faang Der’s record of 2:14.94 set in 2012.
Sebastian also won the 50m backstroke gold in 30.40, taking his gold medal tally to four after coming out tops in the 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle on Sunday.
“I didn’t expect to swim so fast today. My previous personal best was 2:16,” he said.
Selangor’s Jordan Yip bagged three more events – in the 50m backstroke, 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley – in the boys’ 16-18 age group to take his tally to seven gold medals so far.
Hosts Selangor have captured 35 gold medals (in swimming and diving) with two days of competition to go.

The NST : Sebastian, Janetty break records in MSSM Swimming championship
BY AJITPAL SINGH - 15 MARCH 2016 @ 3:55 PM
SHAH ALAM: Sebastian Soon of Selangor and Janetty J Fabian of Sabah each smashed a meet record in the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Club today.
Sebastian, 15, clocked 2:14.73 to break a four-year-old record set by national swimmer Tia’a Faang Der by 0.21 seconds to win the boys’ 13-15 200m individual medley event.
“I did not expect to break the meet record as I have never dipped below 2:16.00 in competitions,” said Sebastian who also won a gold medal in the 50m backstroke race today.
“It is great to break a record and hopefully, it will inspire me to train harder for upcoming international meets.
" Despite his record breaking feat, Sebastian’s spot in the squad for the Malaysia Games in Sarawak later this year is not guaranteed.
“I am not sure whether I will be picked for the Malaysia Games. Selangor have so many good swimmers,” said the Kajang-born Sebastian.
Janetty was the star of the day when she bettered a 13-year-old record in the girls’ Under-12 50m backstroke event.
The 12-year-old clocked 33.95 to break Leung Chii Lin’s mark of 34.12 set in 2003.
“It is my first MSSM gold medal. It is a good start to my career as I want to go far in the sport,” said Janetty, who managed two silver and two bronze in the opening two days.
Janetty, a student of SK (C) Anglo Chinese School in Penampang, is coached by Benjamin Lee.
Jordan Yip of Selangor took his gold medal tally to seven when he won the boys’ 16-18 50m backstroke, 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley today.

1st ASUM Junior Splash proved to be a hit among young swimmers
Last weekend was indeed a long tiring weekend as the inaugural ASUM/NSC/MILO/MADWAVE Junior Swim Splash 2016 kicked off for the first time at Kompleks Renang Kuala Lumpur on 12-13 March, 2016.
The junior meet, hosted by Persatuan Renang Amatur Kuala Lumpur, has received overwhelming response from 24 clubs with registration of 722 swimmers. Swim teams from north and south traveled to join the central development meet in conjunction with the starting of school holidays too, resulting in heats after heats of swim by many excited kids. As expected, the meet dragged on till night falls on both days with continuing support from parents as some swimmers might be charting their first official timings in this junior meet.
Team IBSC had its fair share of swimmers with 80 members participating in the competition. Some of them represented their respective schools in the meet. Overall, swimmers did well with PBs being recorded by many even though the weather was not forgiving with extreme heat in the afternoon and some intermittent showers in the evening. IBSC managed a 3rd position overall with the immense great competition from other strong clubs.
The IBSC parents and senior swimmers deserve praises for their willingness to volunteer and offer to help in running the meet. Big thanks to them all. Appreciation as usual also goes to all IBSC coaches, Team Managers and chaperons for the amazing teamwork. Lastly, we wish to thank WishTee for their generosity in supplying free T-shirts to our youngsters.

The NST : Jordan bags more gold medals in MSSM meet
BY AJITPAL SINGH - 14 MARCH 2016 @ 3:44 PM
SHAH ALAM: Jordan Yip wants to emulate Kosuke Hagino of Japan in swimming.
Jordan and Hagino have a similarity as both are equally good in the freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke disciplines, and the former hopes to be as successful as the Japanese swimmer one day.
“I want to emulate Hagino in swimming. He won a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics,” said Jordan after clinching two titles in the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Club today.
The 17-year-old won the boys’ 16-18 200m backstroke race in 2:19.11 before clocking 57.18 for the gold medal in the 100m butterfly.
On Sunday, he bagged the 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle events. “It feels good to be back at my best. I want to go far and qualify for the Olympics one day,” said Jordan who took up swimming when he was eight-years-old.
Jordan will compete in the 50m backstroke, 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley races tomorrow.

SHAH ALAM: Jordan Yip wants to emulate Kosuke Hagino of Japan in swimming.
Jordan and Hagino have a similarity as both are equally good in the freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke disciplines, and the former hopes to be as successful as the Japanese swimmer one day.
“I want to emulate Hagino in swimming. He won a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics,” said Jordan after clinching two titles in the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Club today.
The 17-year-old won the boys’ 16-18 200m backstroke race in 2:19.11 before clocking 57.18 for the gold medal in the 100m butterfly.
On Sunday, he bagged the 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle events. “It feels good to be back at my best. I want to go far and qualify for the Olympics one day,” said Jordan who took up swimming when he was eight-years-old.
Jordan will compete in the 50m backstroke, 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley races tomorrow.

The Star : A perfect debut for Elise at MSSM swim meet
BY LIM TEIK HUAT
SHAH ALAM: Elise Wong splashed to a perfect debut in the MSSM swimming championships with two gold medals and a meet record at the Shah Alam Aquatic Centre.
The 12-year-old student of Sri Kuala Lumpur posted 30.94 to smash the 10-year-old record of 31.09 held by former national swimmer Hii Siew Siew in the girls’ 12 and under 50m butterfly.
Team-mate Lim Shun Qi clocked 31.01 to also dip under Siew Siew’s record but settled for silver while bronze went to Kuala Lumpur’s Ng Zi Syuen, who posted 32.57.
The lanky Elise went on to claim her second gold medal for Selangor after finishing the 200m freestyle in 2:22.69.
Elise turned out to be the only record breaker on the opening day.
“It’s not my fastest time as I have a personal best of 30.30. But I fell pretty good. The competitors here are of the same standard,” said Elise, who looks up to five-time world champion Hosszu Katinka, who is known as Hungary’s “Iron Lady” in the pool.
“She is good and can swim in different events. She always finishes in the top three in the events she enters. I like the way she swims the butterfly,” said Elise, who aspires to qualify for the Asian Games in the future.
Hosts Selangor enjoyed a roaring day at the pool as they bagged 11 out of the 25 gold medals at stake.
Other double winners for Selangor were Darren Lew (boys’ 12 and under 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle), Sebastian Soon (boys’ 13-15 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle), Jordan Yip (boys’ 16-18 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle) and Rosalind Pang (girls’ Open 800m freestyle and 13-15 200m freestyle).
Tan Tyng also bagged a double for Sarawak in the girls’ 16-18 50m breaststroke and 200m freestyle.
