Silver lining for new diving pair


Filepic of Cheong Jun Hoong competing in the 3m springboard at the FINA Worlds in Barcelona last year. She partnered 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Pandelela Rinong to win silver in the final leg of the Diving World Series in Monterrey, Mexico this weekend.

PETALING JAYA: Pandelela Rinong got herself back on the podium in the Diving World Series with a different partner – Cheong Jun Hoong – to clinch a well-deserved silver medal in the 10m platform synchro final in the final leg in Monterrey, Mexico.

Pandelela’s regular partner Leong Mun Yee had to skip this weekend’s competition due an arm and neck injury sustained at the previous leg in Windsor, Canada, last week.
