Nadia sets sights on reclaiming national mark
KUALA LUMPUR: Nadia Lim wants her national 100m freestyle record back and has targeted next month’s SEA Age Championships meet to reclaim it from Eliza Tan.
Nadia Lim, a 15-year-old swimmer, is eager to reclaim Malaysia's national 100m freestyle record, which currently belongs to Eliza Tan. Nadia's record was previously bested by Eliza at the Selangor Malaysia Games (Sukma), where Eliza set a new national long-course mark. Nadia's own national record of 57.11 seconds was recorded at the Asian Age-Group Aquatics Championships in Bangkok in July.
However, Eliza reclaimed her record in August, becoming the first Malaysian woman to swim under 57 seconds at Sukma with a time of 56.78 seconds. Despite her injury and illness, Nadia is hopeful to regain the national record during the upcoming SEA Age Championships. She expressed her enthusiasm for racing against Eliza and expressed her desire to compete in the World Short Course Championships in Beijing.
