PETALING JAYA: Springboard specialist Ooi Tze Liang blew an opportunity to dot his resume with a world championship medal after failing to hold his fifth dive in the team event in Budapest.

Tze Liang and partner Pandelela Rinong were lying in second place after four dives and had looked good for a podium finish but crumbled towards the end on Wednesday.
