PETALING JAYA: Swimmer Phee Jinq En raised cheers for Malaysia from the pool when she smashed her own national record in the women's 100m breaststroke heats at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
The 23-year-old clocked 1:08.40 to finish a close second in Heat 2 behind Slovakian Andrea Podmanikova (1:08.36), and went on to slice 0.10s off her own national record set two years ago when she took gold at the Philippines SEA Games.
