Malaysian Boys Win Twice On Day 3 Of Commonwealth Youth Games

Breaststroker Fu Kang Wong won his second gold of the week to lead the Malaysian boys to a pair of back-to-back wins on day 3 of the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa.

A day after winning the 100 breast, Fu took home the 50 breast title, overcoming top prelims qualifier James Greig Isemonger of South Africa. Finals times were unavailable, but Fu was 29.15 in prelims and Greig 28.99.

In the very next boys event, Welson Wee Sheng Sim touched out Australian star Clyde Lewis for gold in the 400 free. Welson’s 4:01.08 gave Malaysia its second-straight boys gold medal. Lewis was 4:01.42 in second.

Despite Lewis missing out on his third gold in that event, the Australian team continued to cruise on day 3.

Ariarne Titmus won the girls 400 free for the Aussies, going 4:14.56 to outlast England’s duo of Georgina Boyle and Georgia Darwent (4:14.90 and 4:15.04, respectively).

Meanwhile Tristan Ludlow took the boys 200 back for another Australian gold. Ludlow was 2:01.46, dominating the field, which included 100 back champ Conor Ferguson of Northern Ireland. Ferguson took silver in 2:03.90.

Australia also swept the relays for the night. The boys 4×100 free relay was a blowout, with Australia putting up a 3:19.70, and the girls won in 3:45.16, also a win by a wide margin.

The girls 50 breast went to Scotland’s Erin Robertson in 32.55.

Results of the girls 200 back, girls 100 fly and boys 100 fly were unavailable.
