KUCHING: Dayang Nursharzyra Awang Nasaruddin and Nur Eilisha Rania may have only trained together for two months but that is more than enough for them to win the girls' 3m springboard synchro gold medal for Sarawak.
Dayang partnered Nur Eilisha Rania to a come-from-behind win in the girls' 3m springboard synchro event at Pandelela Rinong Aquatic Centre today.
The Sarawakian duo were trailing Celeste Lee Qin-Ong Jia Le from Federal Territories after the second dive but roared on by the local crowd, pulled their acts together to overcome a 12-point deficit to finish on top with 212.58 points.
Celeste-Jia Le settled for silver with 205.44 points as Cecelia Olivia Christopher Leoneil-Siti Nurul Jannah Malik took bronze for Perak with 190.35 points.
After ending empty handed from two previous Sukma appearances, Dayang now have three gold medals and possibly can make it four when she competes in the girls' 3m springboard individual tomorrow.
It is the second gold medal for Eilisha, who had come out tops in the platform mixed synchro event with Enrique Maccartney Harold on Tuesday.
