Swimming: Still winning but Kevin’s not making a comeback
PETALING JAYA: A decade of Malaysia Open victories is something not many can boast of but it’s not enough to make Kevin Yeap reconsider a comeback to defend his open water swimming title at the Manila SEA Games in November. The 30-year-old from Perak won the 5km Open category in 1’06:27.23 in the Malaysia Open Water Swimming Championship at the Putrajaya Lake yesterday. Kevin and Heidi Gan gave Malaysia a golden double in the men’s and women’s 10km events at the 2017 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games. Kevin was also a Games medallist in the pool, winning gold in the 400m freestyle in Indonesia in 2011. But Kevin, who is now Perak’s swimming coach, said his appearance was just to help promote open water swimming in the country.
