'''Daniel William Henry "Danny" Wong Bego''' (born 18 September 1989) is a Malaysian swimmer, who specialises in freestyle and butterfly events.<ref>{{cite sports-reference|title = Daniel Bego|url = https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/daniel-bego-1.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200418120534/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/daniel-bego-1.html|url-status = dead|archive-date = 18 April 2020|access-date = 1 December 2012}}</ref> He emerged as one of [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia)'s most promising and outstanding swimmers, winning a total of fifteen medals (nine gold, two silver, and four bronze) at the [Southeast Asian Games](/source/Southeast_Asian_Games), and breaking six national records.  He was the first Malaysian swimmer to compete in three different events at a single Olympic Games.

==Personal life==
Bego, a native of [Kuching](/source/Kuching), is the youngest of six siblings in the family. His mother Amy Wong, is a registered nurse, who gave up her job to nurture and care for her children; his father Henry Bego, on the other hand, works offshore as a senior diving technician, and is often away from the family. His half-sister Kimberley Yap is a former swimmer and triathlete, who eventually won gold medals for her category at the Southeast Asian Games. He is of Iban-Chinese heritage, and can speak fluent English and Mandarin.<ref name=bego>{{cite news|title=Hot star stays cool |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/11/26/focus/16071436&sec=focus |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221071518/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/11/26/focus/16071436&sec=focus |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 February 2013 |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=26 November 2006 |access-date=1 December 2012 }}</ref>

==Swimming career==
Bego began his swimming career at the very young age, when he and his family moved to [Sri Petaling](/source/Sri_Petaling), on the outskirts of [Kuala Lumpur](/source/Kuala_Lumpur). He made his official debut at the [2003 Southeast Asian Games](/source/2003_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Hanoi](/source/Hanoi), Vietnam, where he captured a full set of medals in the freestyle events.<ref>{{cite news|author=Lim, Teik Huat |title=Stint to make Daniel and Cai Lin stronger for SEA Games charge |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2005/3/31/sports/10556286&sec=sports |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221132722/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2005/3/31/sports/10556286&sec=sports |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 February 2013 |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=31 March 2005 |access-date=1 December 2012 }}</ref> He was undisputedly the best swimmer of Malaysia during his peak years in the free-style, winning three gold medals at the Olympic qualifying trials in [Singapore](/source/Singapore). Despite his success, Bego failed to secure his place for the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics) in [Athens](/source/Athens), Greece, after finishing outside the qualifying time of 1:55.08 in the 200 m freestyle event, clocking only at 1:56.20.<ref>{{cite news|title=Daniel's energy knows no bound |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2004/5/2/sports/7900516&sec=sports |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=2 May 2004 |access-date=1 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050317225021/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2004%2F5%2F2%2Fsports%2F7900516&sec=sports |archive-date=17 March 2005 }}</ref>

In 2005, Bego broke a national record of 1:54.10 in the 200 m freestyle, and achieved his personal best of 4:03.10, by winning gold medals at the Islamic Solidarity Games in [Saudi Arabia](/source/Saudi_Arabia).<ref>{{cite news|title=Bego stakes claim in Sea Games squad.|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-136537440/bego-stakes-claim-sea.html|work=New Straits Times (Malaysia)|date=24 April 2005|access-date=1 December 2012}}</ref> He attained qualifying places at the [Southeast Asian Games](/source/2005_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Manila](/source/Manila), Philippines, where he won three medals, including two golds for the 200 m freestyle and for the 100 m butterfly.<ref name=bego/> In 2006, Bego competed at the [Asian Games](/source/2006_Asian_Games) in [Doha](/source/Doha), Qatar, and at the [Commonwealth Games](/source/2006_Commonwealth_Games), but missed out of the medal podium in the finals.

In following year, Bego aimed to qualify for the [2008 Summer Olympics](/source/2008_Summer_Olympics) in [Beijing](/source/Beijing) at the Malaysian Open Championships and at the Japan International Championships. He swam the 100 m freestyle in a personal best time of 51.32 seconds, and set a national record in the 200 m freestyle.<ref>{{cite news|title=Daniel Bego's fastest 100m freestyle |url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/29/sports/20070829195609&sec=sports |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221092132/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/29/sports/20070829195609&sec=sports |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 February 2013 |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=29 August 2007 |access-date=2 December 2012 }}</ref> In the 200 m butterfly event, he broke another national record of 2:00.12, set by [Anthony Ang](/source/Anthony_Ang) at the [2000 Summer Olympics](/source/2000_Summer_Olympics) in [Sydney](/source/Sydney), booking him a ticket under the B-standard category for the Beijing games.<ref>{{cite news|author=Lim, Teik Huat |title=Swimming: Daniel qualifies for the Olympics under Category B |url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/22/sports/18661103&sec=sports |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130219050125/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/22/sports/18661103&sec=sports |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 February 2013 |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=22 August 2007 |access-date=2 December 2012 }}</ref> A few months later, Bego competed in five individual and three relay events at the [2007 Southeast Asian Games](/source/2007_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok), Thailand.

===2008 Summer Olympics===
Bego was selected as the lone male swimmer to the national team, made his official debut, and represented [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) at the [2008 Summer Olympics](/source/2008_Summer_Olympics) in [Beijing](/source/Beijing). He also became the first Malaysian swimmer to compete in three different events at a single Olympics. Bego swam in the third heat of his first event, [200 m freestyle](/source/Swimming_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_200_metre_freestyle), against six other competitors, including [Ryan Pini](/source/Ryan_Pini) of Papua New Guinea, who won in this heat. He finished sixth in the race, which was later dominated by American swimmer and all-time Olympian [Michael Phelps](/source/Michael_Phelps). Although he failed to advance into the semi-finals, Bego broke his own national record in the heats, with a time of 1:50.92, to better his previous mark of 1:51.05 at an Olympic test event.<ref>{{cite web|title=Swimming: Men's 200m Freestyle – Heat 3 |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM012900/index.html |work=[Beijing 2008](/source/Beijing_2008) |publisher=[NBC Olympics](/source/NBC_Olympics) |access-date=2 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821032411/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSWM012900/index.html |archive-date=21 August 2012 }}</ref>

The next day, Bego participated in his second event, [200 m butterfly](/source/Swimming_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_200_metre_butterfly). He swam in the third heat of the event, and came in seventh place and thirty-seventh overall by two tenths of a second (0.20), to [Jeremy Knowles](/source/Jeremy_Knowles_(swimmer)) of the Bahamas, with a time of 2:01.28, finishing outside of his own national record.<ref>{{cite web|title=Swimming: Men's 200m Butterfly – Heat 3 |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM022900/index.html |work=[Beijing 2008](/source/Beijing_2008) |publisher=[NBC Olympics](/source/NBC_Olympics) |access-date=2 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821002412/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSWM022900/index.html |archive-date=21 August 2012 }}</ref> After taking three days off from the heats, Bego competed in his third and final event, [100 m butterfly](/source/Swimming_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_100_metre_butterfly), which was merely dominated by Phelps. He finished the race with a fastest move, but came only in second place by just three tenths of a second (0.30) to [Shaune Fraser](/source/Shaune_Fraser) of the Cayman Islands, clocking at 54.38 seconds. Bego placed fifty-fourth out of sixty-six swimmers in the event, failing to advance into the semi-final rounds.<ref>{{cite web|title=Swimming: Men's 100m Butterfly – Heat 2 |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM021900/index.html |work=[Beijing 2008](/source/Beijing_2008) |publisher=[NBC Olympics](/source/NBC_Olympics) |access-date=2 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821063129/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSWM021900/index.html |archive-date=21 August 2012 }}</ref> Following his Olympic performance, Bego made an unprecedented effort at the [2009 FINA World Championships](/source/Swimming_at_the_2009_World_Aquatics_Championships) in [Rome](/source/Rome), Italy, where he broke three national records in the butterfly events.<ref>{{cite news|title=Daniel smashes national 100m freestyle record in Rome |url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2009/7/30/sports/4418312&sec=sports |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=30 July 2009 |access-date=2 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090802075818/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=%2F2009%2F7%2F30%2Fsports%2F4418312&sec=sports |archive-date= 2 August 2009 }}</ref>

===2009 Southeast Asian Games===
Bego qualified again for five individual and three relay events at the [2009 Southeast Asian Games](/source/2009_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Vientiane](/source/Vientiane), Laos. He emerged as one of [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia)'s most promising and outstanding athletes, and set a historic milestone as the first male swimmer to win five gold medals in all of his individual events at a single games. He led the Malaysian National Swim team to an outstanding tally of nine gold medals, making it Malaysia's best ever effort at a regional meet, outside the host nation.<ref name=bego-gold>{{cite news|title=Daniel sets milestone with magnificent five-gold feat|url=http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Sports/Story/A1Story20091215-185901.html|publisher=Asia One|date=15 December 2009|access-date=2 December 2012}}</ref>

Bego won gold medals for the first time in the men's 100 m and 400 m freestyle, with impressive national records of 50.16 seconds and 3:53.99, respectively. He put up a spectacular performance in the 200 m butterfly event, as he clawed his way back from the fourth position going into the final turn to strike another gold medal, with a time of 2:00.91. He also defended his titles for the third consecutive time in the 100 m butterfly and 200 m freestyle. For his latter event, Bego trailed behind American-trained Filipino [Miguel Molina](/source/Miguel_Molina_(swimmer)) in the last 50 m by more than one body-length, until he surged his path to touch the pool for a gold, and set another national record of 1:49.22, just three seconds ahead of his previous mark set at the [2007 Southeast Asian Games](/source/2007_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok). He also added his bronze medal for the national team in the men's freestyle relay events.<ref name=bego-gold/> Following his five gold-medal feat, Bego was elected the Most Outstanding Athlete of the Games at the OCM – Coca-Cola Olympian of the Year Awards in [Kuala Lumpur](/source/Kuala_Lumpur).<ref>{{cite news|title=2009 OCM – Coca-Cola Olympian of the Year Awards |url=http://www.olympic.org.my/web/display.php?action=fullnews&showcomments=1&id=337 |publisher=Olympic Council of Malaysia |access-date=2 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130108231931/http://www.olympic.org.my/web/display.php?action=fullnews&showcomments=1&id=337 |archive-date=8 January 2013 }}</ref>

===2010–present===
In 2010, Bego competed for the second time at the [Commonwealth Games](/source/2010_Commonwealth_Games) in [Delhi](/source/Delhi), India, and at the [Asian Games](/source/2010_Asian_Games) in [Guangzhou](/source/Guangzhou), China, but finished the race outside of the national record and medal podium in each of his respective events, including his seventh-place finish for the men's 100 m butterfly. In 2011, Bego's shoulder injury took him out of swim competitions for the entire year. He had to undergo another shoulder surgery to correct a long-standing [bone spur](/source/bone_spur) problem.<ref name=bego-injury>{{cite news|author=Lim, Teik Huat |title=Swimmer Daniel will miss SEA Games after shoulder operation |url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2011/5/1/sports/8588178 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221032230/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2011/5/1/sports/8588178 |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 February 2013 |publisher=The Star Malaysia |date=1 May 2011 |access-date=2 December 2012 }}</ref> Because of the operation, he missed out on the [2011 FINA World Championships](/source/Swimming_at_the_2011_World_Aquatics_Championships) in [Shanghai](/source/Shanghai), China, and most importantly, the [2011 Southeast Asian Games](/source/2011_Southeast_Asian_Games) in [Palembang](/source/Palembang), Indonesia, shattering his hopes of repeating a five gold-medal haul in swimming.<ref name=bego-injury/>

After his one-year absence from the surgery, Bego finally returned to the international stage in great physical form, by winning the 50 m butterfly event at the Malaysian Open Championships in [Bukit Jalil](/source/Bukit_Jalil), with a time of 26.38 seconds. He also put up a record-breaking performance for the men's 4×200 m freestyle relay at the 2012 Southeast Asian Championships in [Singapore](/source/Singapore).<ref>{{cite news|title=Swimming: Bego back to his best|url=http://www.nst.com.my/sports/other/swimming-bego-back-to-his-best-1.94734|publisher=New Straits Times (Malaysia)|date=15 June 2012|access-date=2 December 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621215309/http://www.nst.com.my/sports/other/swimming-bego-back-to-his-best-1.94734|archive-date=21 June 2012}}</ref> Bego, however, missed out of an opportunity to compete at the [2012 Summer Olympics](/source/2012_Summer_Olympics) in [London](/source/London), as he failed to reach an invitational time of 1:51.59 in the men's 200 m freestyle, clocking only at 1:52.44.<ref>{{cite news|title=Swimming: Daniel blows his chance|url=http://www.nst.com.my/sports/other/swimming-daniel-blows-his-chance-1.95952|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120619081458/http://www.nst.com.my/sports/other/swimming-daniel-blows-his-chance-1.95952|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 June 2012|publisher=New Straits Times (Malaysia)|date=19 June 2012|access-date=2 December 2012}}</ref>
