BAQLEH SMASHES MORE RECORDS
Oct 05, 2015
Jordan’s swimming sensation Khader Baqleh has smashed two more National records on his way to finishing with three silver medals at the Asian Age Group Championship in Thailand.
With a place at next summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro virtually assured after already making the ‘B’ qualifying time, the youngster edged even closer to the ‘A’ times in the 100m and the 400m freestyle events with new Jordan records.
As well as those two silvers for the U18 age group, Khader picked up a further silver medal in the 200m freestyle.
Not to be outdone, his older sister Talita won bronze in the 50m butterfly for her age group.
