Jinq En bags 100m breaststroke gold in new Games record

The 22-year-old clocked 1:08.50s — a new Sea Games record — to win gold in the women’s 100m breaststroke event at the New Clark City Aquatic Centre.

It erased her own previous Sea Games mark of 1:09.00 set in KL two years ago as well as her own national record of 1:08.65 set at the Malaysian Open in KL in 2016.Jinq En was clearly ecstatic after her victory.“There was no improvement for me in this event for two years and then, suddenly, I crack both my national and Sea Games records!”

Unfortunately, Jinq En had no time to celebrate as she was due to fly off to Indiana, the United States, later last night to sit for her examination at the Purdue University, where she’s majoring in Management. “I’ll be flying off to the US in a few hours time . When I land, I will have about five hours before I sit for my examinations.Jinq En, who also won gold in the 50m breaststroke on Saturday, is set to graduate next year.
