No Changes Pending Outcome Of World Aquatics Championships
Ken Nee, who assumed the post earlier last month, said that the existing programme implemented by his predecessor Bryan Nickson Lomas, especially the Minimum Qualification Score (MQS), remains effective for now.
'Everything is going according to the coaches' planning. The divers have already set the target, their events and their MQS. So we don't want to mess it up.

'If everything doesn't go accordingly, then that's where I have to step in and oversee the whole blueprint. Maybe from the training side, coaching side, or the divers' side, that needs changes,' he told Bernama recently.
MQS is the scoring benchmark that national divers must achieve to qualify for international competitions and represent the country.
Ken Nee said Australia, Canada and Spain have expressed interest in holding joint training sessions with Malaysia's national diving squad ahead of this year's World Aquatics Championships.
He said the three nations have requested to train in Malaysia for five days, and he hopes to accommodate all of them.
The former Olympian said the joint training would benefit Malaysian divers by exposing them to world-class techniques of top divers.
'As for Australia and Canada, they used to be on the podium, including the World Aquatic Championships.

Swimming-Canadian teen speedster McIntosh takes aim at Ledecky's throne
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Canadian teen sensation Summer McIntosh is coming for American legend Katie Ledecky's crown as the swimming portion of the World Aquatics Championships kicks off in Singapore on Sunday, marking a tantalising new chapter of their rivalry. Ledecky has kept a tight grip on the 800 metres freestyle, winning four Olympic golds and hoping to become the first swimmer to win seven world titles in a single event when she takes on the distance in Singapore. In May, she shattered her own world record, bettering the mark she set nine years previous. "I've always approached each race with a mindset that something like that could happen," Ledecky told the outlet SwimSwam after the race. "Even as that didn't happen for many, many years, I still maintain that approach." Only the 18-year-old McIntosh appears capable of standing in her path at worlds. She came within two seconds of the 28-year-old American's mark last month, signalling the chance that fans could soon see a changing of the guard. She famously ended Ledecky's 13-year unbeaten streak in the event in 2024, when she bested the American by nearly six seconds at a sectionals meeting in Orlando, Florida. "Anytime I get to race Katie, it's a learning experience and it's always a good race," she told reporters this month. "We bring the best out of each other." McIntosh completed one of the greatest weeks in swimming history with a hat-trick of world records in June, becoming the first to break three different individual long-course records in one meet since American Michael Phelps in 2008. She broke the world marks in the 200m and 400m individual medleys, as well as the 400m freestyle, another event where she will face off against Ledecky in Singapore. McIntosh and Ledecky finished second and third on the podium, respectively, in the 400m at the Paris Olympic Games, behind Australian Ariarne Titmus, who is not competing at worlds. McIntosh's goal in Singapore is to become the first since Phelps in 2007 to win five solo golds at a single World Aquatics Championships, with the 200m butterfly, 200m medley and 400m freestyle also on her agenda. She hopes to compete in five individual events at the Los Angeles 2028 Games, as well. "I'm trying to see this new challenge and see if I can do five events individually and how well I can do in them and how I can manage it... doing that run through now, three years out, is definitely something that will give me lots of confidence," she said.

Ledecky to 12-year-old: Six to watch at swimming world championships
SINGAPORE: The action in the swimming pool begins at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore on Sunday, when many of the best swimmers on the planet will take to the starting blocks. AFP Sport highlights six to watch over eight days of intense competition: American great Katie Ledecky shows no signs of slowing down as she heads to her seventh world championships looking to add to her haul of 21 gold medals. The 28-year-old won three times at the US championships last month, clinching the 1,500m freestyle by more than 25 seconds. That came a month after she broke her own longstanding 800m freestyle world record, clocking 8min 4.12sec in the event that catapulted her to stardom at the age of 15 during the 2012 London Olympics. Ledecky, who also holds the world record in the 1,500m freestyle and has nine Olympic golds, faces a mouthwatering showdown with Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh in the 400m and 800m freestyle. The biggest name in men's swimming today after his heroics at his home Olympics in Paris last summer. The 23-year-old clinched gold in all four of his individual events, winning the 200m breaststroke, 200m butterfly, 200m medley and the 400m medley to take the roof off La Defense Arena. He will concentrate on the medley events in Singapore. The 400m medley world record holder since 2023, Marchand will attempt to break Ryan Lochte's 200m medley mark of 1min 54.00sec set in 2011. Teenage sensation McIntosh heads to the world championships as swimming's hottest property after breaking three world records at the Canadian trials last month. The 18-year-old sliced more than a second off the women's 400m freestyle mark held by Australia's Ariarne Titmus and obliterated Hungarian great Katinka Hosszu's decade-old 200m medley world record. McIntosh updated her own 400m medley mark to become the first swimmer to break three different long-course world records at the same event since Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. McIntosh won three golds at the Paris Olympics and already has four world titles. McKeown was untouchable at last month's Australian trials, completing a clean sweep of the three women's backstroke events. The 24-year-old was so dominant in the 200m backstroke that she finished more than five seconds clear of second-placed Hannah Fredericks. McKeown, who won two Olympic golds in Paris, owns world records in the 50m and 200m backstroke. She skipped last year's world championships in Doha but won all three backstroke events in 2023 at Fukuoka. The 20-year-old freestyler enjoyed an incredible 2024. In the 100m at the Paris Olympics he destroyed the field to clinch gold in an eye-popping 46.40sec, bettering his own world record. The biggest threat to the defence of his 100m free world title will come from David Popovici in one of the most eagerly anticipated events after the Romanian became the second-fastest man in history with a swim of 46.71sec last month. The 12-year-old came out of nowhere to make global headlines at China's national championships in May with a series of stunning swims. Yu started the China championships by taking second in the 200m individual medley behind Paris Olympian Yu Yiting in 2min 10.63sec – the fastest time in history for her age group. Wearing her "doggy" swim cap, Yu then won the women's 400m individual medley by almost two seconds in a time that would have been fast enough for fourth at the Paris Olympics. The schoolgirl also won the 200m butterfly in another scarcely believable swim that would again have only narrowly missed out on a medal in Paris. - AFP

Tour de France reroutes Alpine stage as farmers cull herd infected with cattle disease
CHAMBERY, July 25 — Stage 19 of the Tour De France will be shortened on Friday after an outbreak of a contagious cattle disease, organisers announced late Thursday, reported German Press Agency (dpa). 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals,' organisers said. 'In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the col des Saisies.' The demanding Alpine stage from Albertville to La Plagne will now cover a distance of just 95 kilometres, down from the originally planned 129.9 kilometres, organisers said on social media platform X. Riders will also face less elevation, with the removal of the Col des Saisies climb reducing the total ascent from the original 4,550 metres. The stage is now set to begin at 2.30 pm (1230 GMT) in Albertville - one hour later than initially scheduled. — Bernama
