BIRMINGHAM: It is unlikely that the diving team can contribute a gold to the Malaysian contingent in Birmingham over the next two days.

On Saturday (August 6), Pandelela Rinong-Nur Dhabitah Sabri's hopes of defending the gold won in the women's 10m platform synchro event in Gold Coast, Australia four years ago fizzled out after only earning 41.28 for their fourth dive.
