Swim team make a sacrifice for Hoe Yean’s push


HANGZHOU debutant Khiew Hoe Yean (pic) will be gearing up to make a splash in the men’s 400m freestyle event on the last day of the Asian Games swimming competition today.

To ensure the 21-year-old makes a strong assault in the event, he was left out of the Malaysian team’s starting line-up for the men’s 4x100m freestyle final at the Hangzhou Aquatics Sports Centre last night.
