| Swimmer breaks three record en route to bagging overall champion title in Selangor meet Posted: 15 Feb 2013 06:14 AM PST PROMISING swimmer Shaun Yap Kah Choon hogged the limelight in the Milo-Selangor Age group swimming championships at the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre in Shah Alam recently. The youngster, representing Pade, not only won four gold medals but also splashed his way to a new national record and two meet records in the boys' Group One category during the three-day championships. The 17-year-old Shaun, a member of the national training squad, clocked a blistering 29.12 and rewrote the old national record of 29:46 in the boys' 50m breaststroke. His two other state records came in the 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke events. In the 100m breaststroke, Shaun was timed 1:03.71, erasing the old record of 1:07.80 set by Sinkov Dimitriy in 2006. In the 200m breaststroke, Shaun, an A-level student at Help Academy, clocked 2:22.76 and chipped almost eight seconds from the old record of 2:30.06 held by David Lim since 2003. Shaun also won another gold medal in the 100m individual medley. For his outstanding performance, Shaun was named as the overall champion in the boys' category. Shaun, who trains under Paul Birmingham, was delighted with his results in the championships. "I am also happy to be presented with the overall champion award. I hope to do well in other coming competitions as well,'' said an excited Shaun. Besides his achievements on home soil, Shaun also did well in the Western Australia State Open and age-group championships in Perth last month. He won two silvers (100m breaststroke in the Open and age-group categories while his bronze medals came in the 200m breaststroke in both the categories. He had reasons to be extremely pleased with his results in Australia. "I clocked personal bests in the three events (50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke events). I am looking forward to improving my timings in the coming championships and represent Malaysia in international competitions,'' said Shaun. In the girls' category, the overall champion was Nadia Adrianna Redza who won seven gold medals and four silver medals in the girls' Group Two age group. Nadia also got her name into the record books with three state records. Her records came in the 200m breaststroke, 400m individual medley and 100m breaststroke events. In the 200m breaststroke, Nadia, a promising talent in the Selangor Amateur Swimming Association (Sasa) development programme, clocked 2:38.00 and erased the old mark of 2:44.50 held by Raja Azlina Izzah since 2006. Former international Marilyn Chua's 5:19.84 record, set in 1994, in the 400m individual medley was also erased by Nadia with an impressive 5:13.83. Nadia's third record was 1:15.26 in the 100m breaststroke, chipping the old record of 1:16.56 set by Raja Azlina in 2006. The championships, organised with support from Milo and Trend Masters, had three groups — Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 — and was a platform for Sasa to evaluate their swimmers. Selangor chief coach Ong Jin Kooi was pleased with the performance of the junior swimmers. "The results are certainly encouraging. The championships was the first for the season. "They clocked impressive times. We are confident they will improve their times in the coming months. They have a series of competitions coming up.
