SHAH ALAM: For someone so slender, breaststroke swimmer Phee Jinq En continues to defy the odds as she enhanced her Rio de Janeiro Olympic chances.

The 18-year-old smashed her own national record, set only two months ago, to provide the only golden splash by a local swimmer in the Malaysian Open Swimming Championships at the Shah Alam Aquatic Centre on Thursday.
