PETALING JAYA: Tokyo Olympics medal hopefuls Pandelela Rinong-Leong Mun Yee were served a reminder to not take anything for granted after tumbling out of medal contention at the Diving World Cup.
Pandelela-Mun Yee were easily the most experienced pairing who took part in the women’s 10m platform synchro final field of 12 finalists but they could not hold on to the momentum as they finished fourth with 288.36 points at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre yesterday. The pair led after the first three dives but their synchronisation fell apart as their rivals nailed the crucial big dives.
