Uphill task to make podium but newcomers dive in with high hopes at worlds


THE likes of Pandelela Rinong, Bryan Nickson Lomas and Cheong Jun Hoong have all made their mark in previous diving events at the World Aquatics Championships.

Bryan paved the way when he became the first Malaysian to make a final appearance in the 2007 edition in Melbourne, Australia, finishing seventh in the men’s 10m platform event to qualify for the Beijing Olympics which took place the following year.
