Lee Zhien Huey and Png Hui Chuen lie fourth in the duet.
FINALLY, there was Malaysian presence in a swimming final as the men's 4x200m freestyle lined up along the best of the Commonwealth Games at the SP Mukherjee Aquatic Complex yesterday.
Daniel Bego, Ian James Barr, Foo Jian Beng and Lee Leam Yoong finished sixth in a time of 7:43.53s but coach Paul Birmingham was satisfied as the swimmers met their target of making the final. Australia took the gold, Scotland the silver and South Africa the bronze.
The rest of the Malaysians didn't enjoy a great day at the pool as Foo Jian Beng clocked 51.95 in the men's 100m freestyle and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
Ian, who made the 50m backstroke semi-final on Monday, failed to make an impact in the 200m backstroke heats as he clocked 2:08.84.
It was a similar story for the women as Erika Kong clocked 2:39.03 in the 200m breaststroke while Christina Loh came home in 2:41.77 to end their campaigns in the heats.
In synchronised swimming, Katrina Ann Abdul Hadi is within reach of the bronze after posting 39.417 points to lie third after the qualification technical routine.
The Malaysian is just behind Scotland's Lauren Smith, who scored 39.917 yesterday. Canada's Marie-Pi Boudreau is the runaway leader with 47.667 while second is Jenna Randall of England with 44.583.
In the duet, Lee Zhien Huey and Png Hui Chuen are also fourth with 37.334 after the technical routine.
Canadians Marie-Pi and Chloe Isaac are in the lead with 47.500 while Olivia Allison and Jenna Randall of England are second with 44.250. Third are Australians Eloise Amberger-Sarah Bombell with 39.250.
