KUALA LUMPUR: National swimming coach Paul Birmingham admits that losing the talismanic Daniel Bego to injury is a setback, but it won’t dampen the team’s efforts to plot another record-breaking feat in the upcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Daniel, who made a stunning return at last December’s Myanmar SEA Games by capturing the 400m freestyle title, was instrumental in helping the team smash the national 4x200m freestyle relay record by a remarkable four seconds, en route to winning the silver medal, narrowly losing to powerhouse Singapore.
