PETALING JAYA: Teenage swimmer Mohd Dhuha Zulfikry, who won six gold medals at the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in August, made a smashing World Cup debut in Shanghai, China by erasing the oldest national record in short course swimming.
The 16-year-old smashed Jeffrey Ong’s 35-year-old national mark in the 1,500m freestyle.
