Youngster’s gold medal feat beyond expectation


All smiles: Lee Yiat Qing posing with her gold medal after winning the women’s 10m individual platform event at the Morodok Aquatic Centre. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

LEE Yiat Qing had to pinch herself hard just to make sure that she was not dreaming after the medal presentation ceremony.

Yiat Qing has never even competed in Malaysia Games (Sukma) before or win the platform event at the national age-group championship but she will return home with a SEA Games gold medal.
