Not a rousing show in Romania for swimmers


PETALING JAYA: Malaysian swimmers hardly made any ripples at the World Junior Championships in Otopeni, Romania, yesterday when none posted personal bests in their respective events.

Malaysia Games (Sukma) champion Chong Xin Lin only managed to finish 41st in the girls’ 50m backstroke heats with a time of 30.44s at the Otopeni Aquatic Centre.
