PETALING JAYA: The fight is not over for two-time Olympics medallist Pandelela Rinong as she draws inspiration from American David Boudia’s experience in the men’s 10m platform individual at the 2012 London Olympics.

The 28-year-old Olympics medal hopeful survived a scare to pull through to the top 18 semi-finals in the women’s individual 10m platform competition after finishing as the last qualifier with 284.90 points at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre yesterday.
