Khoi swam in the men’s 200m backstroke and finished fourth in the third qualification heat with a time of 1 min 57.35 sec.

The 19-year-old failed to enter the finals, but his time set a Vietnamese record. The old record of 1:57.72 also belonged to Khoi, which he set in March at the national championships.

It is his third national record set in Canadian competition.

Earlier, Khoi cleared a new bar in the 100m individual medley, timing 55.47 sec on December 9 and clocking 24.98 in the 50m backstroke. However, the latter time was beaten by teammate Le Nguyen Paul, who swam a 24.27 shortly after.
