KUALA LUMPUR: Chan Jie may no longer be in the national swimming programme but he still has not lost his competitive edge.

The 28-year-old just missed out on rewriting his own national record in the men’s 50m butterfly by 0.01s after taking silver for Selangor in the first day action of the Malaysian Open at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
