SINGAPORE:
Olympic medallist Pandalela Rinong completed Malaysia’s clean-sweep of all eight SEA Games diving titles on Tuesday, and then said she was preparing something special for next month’s world championships.
The 2012 Olympic bronze medallist was head and shoulders above the competition on the 10-metre platform in Singapore, scoring 353.00 with compatriot Loh Zhiayi a distant second on 305.25.
With some of her competitors diving from lower platforms, and several landing awkwardly to gasps from the crowd, it was a simple outing for the confident Malaysian.
Pandalela said she was working on a new dive for the worlds, where she will take on the favoured Chinese in an attempt to improve on her haul to date of two bronze medals.
