Para Sukma: Darwisy Irfan pecah 3 rekod kebangsaan di kolam renang
Pada penampilan pertama Para Sukma Selangor Ahmad Darwisy Irfan bukan saja berjaya merealisasi impian bersaing di pentas berprestij malah cipta kejutan pecah tiga rekod kebangsaan.
Ahmad Darwisy Irfan, a 16-year-old swimmer from Selangor, is set to compete in the 100m freestyle S13 event at the Selangor 2026 Para Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) championships. His mother, Hishamuddin Yahya, believes that enrolling him in swimming lessons has helped improve his focus and academic performance. During his first appearance at the 2026 Sukma, Darwisy broke three national records.
First, he won gold in the 50m freestyle S13 (visual impairment) category with a time of 27.66 seconds, surpassing his own record of 28.66 seconds set at the MSNM Para Siri 2/2026 Championships. He then claimed silver in the 100m backstroke SB13 category with a time of 1:19.82 seconds, beating the previous record of 1:20.42 seconds set by Julius Jeranding in 2014.
Darwisy also broke the record in the 100m butterfly B13 category with a time of 1:20.98 seconds, replacing his own record of 1:25.05 seconds achieved earlier this year. Despite his sudden success, Darwisy admits he never expected to achieve such results, and he focuses on his own efforts rather than the competition. He attributes his progress to the discipline of swimming, maintaining his technique in the water, and reciting Bismillah.
