From Ahmad Muliady Abdul Majid
NANJING, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- National swimmer Wilson Sim has to be contended to be at the 11th placing of the men's individual free style 400m preliminary when he failed to go to the finals on the first day of the 2nd Youth Olympic Games (YOG 2014) here.
Wilson recorded a time of 3:55.72s, his personal best so far this year at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre Stadium.
Egyptian swimmer, Ahmed Akram dominated the preliminary with a time record of 3:52.02s, followed by Acosta Marcelo Alberto from El Salvador with a record of 3:53.14s.
