KL2017: Pandelela retains gold in individual 10m platform

KUALA LUMPUR: National diving champion Pandelela Rinong delivered her second and diving’s sixth gold medal for the nation to end her Sea Games campaign today.

The national divers amassed three gold medals today with almost flawless attempts.

Pandelela secured 341.65 points in the women’s individual 10m platform, while teammate Kimberly Bong Qian Ping won bronze on 255.05 points. Freida Lim of Singapore took silver with 274.65 points.

In the 1m men’s springboard individual, Ahmad Amsyar Azman took gold while teammate Ooi Tze Liang silver on 368.60 points.

Tze Liang was the favourite in the event, but a mistake in his third jump forced him to play catch-up in the remaining three jumps to settle for silver.

In the final event of the day, Jasmine Lai Pui Yee-Muhammad Syafiq Puteh won gold in the 3m springboard synchronised mixed-pair dive on 284.94 points.
