Nur Dhabitah Sabri - OCM

PETALING JAYA: National diver Nur Dhabitah Sabri finished without a medal in her third Olympic Games.

Dhabitah came out last in the 12-member field final. She scored 244.80 points after five rounds in the women’s 3m springboard in Paris on Friday (Aug 9).

She was unable to sustain her strong start that saw her score 63.00 and 60.00 in the first two dives.

The 25-year-old diver’s performance took a hit as she scored 37.50 and 28.50 in the next two dives, before slightly improving in her final dive with a score of 55.80.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Dhabitah finished fourth in the women’s 3m springboard final.

China’s Chen Yiwen won gold in an amazing fashion as she scored 376.00, a large margin ahead of silver medallist Maddison Keeney of Australia with 343.10.

China’s Chang Yani bounced back from a rough start to finish with a bronze medal (318.75 points).
