REIGNING Malaysia Games champion Rosalind Pang was the brightest spark on the opening day of the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) swimming championships at the Hang Jebat Aquatic Centre in Malacca yesterday.
On a day when no records were set, Rosalind contributed three of nine gold medals won by Selangor — starting with the girls’ 800m freestyle open event by clocking 9:44.04s.
Johor’s Ong Yong Qi finished the race in 9:45.86 for the silver ahead of Kuala Lumpur’s Geogene Wee (9:54.95).
Rosalind, 16, then came out tops in the Under-18 100m backstroke by clocking 1:08.39s to finish ahead of Kuala Lumpur swimmers Karla Lim (1:09.74) and Nurlatifa Zahra (1:12.28).
Rosalind returned to the pool
