SELANGOR’S Jordan Yip notched an impressive 10th gold medal on the penultimate day of the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) swimming championships on Wednesday.
Jordan looks set to bag the male swimmer of the Games award after winning the Under-18 400m individual medley in a new meet record of four minutes and 43.51 seconds at the Darul Ehsan Aquatics Complex in Shah Alamy, bettering the previous mark of 4:44.73s set by Johor’s Tia’a Faang Der in 2013.
He then went on to win the 50m freestyle in 24.71s and then teamed up with Ng Yi Hao, Ooi Joo Vern and Yee Shen Khoo to give Selangor the 400m medley relay gold on 4:05.84s.
The 17-year-old also bagged the silver in the 200m breaststroke behind Yi Hao, who won in 2:26.00s.
