Khiew Hoe Yean continues his rise in swimming, breaking his own national 400m freestyle record to win silver at the Rhine Ruhr 2025 World University Games—Malaysia’s first swimming medal at the event in 34 years. Though he's surpassed 10 national records, Hoe Yean focuses more on consistent improvement than on the numbers. He also helped set a new national record in the 4x200m freestyle relay, finishing sixth. Next up: the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore and the 2025 SEA Games, where he's aiming for more gold.
