PETALING JAYA: Pandelela-Rinong-Leong Mun Yee came up short in their bid to win Malaysia's first medal at the Tokyo Games, finishing last out of eight competitors in the women's 10m platform synchro final.
They began well and were in medal contention after their first-two dives at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Tuesday.
But as the competition progressed, their performance took a nosedive, especially in their last three attempts and eventually could only accumulate 277.98 points.
