KUALA LUMPUR: He may share a name with a rock ‘n’ roll legend, but 18-year-old Elvis Priestly Clement (pic) is making a name for himself in a completely different arena – the diving pool.

Once a relatively unknown athlete competing at last year’s Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Kuching, the Sarawak-born diver is now gearing up for the biggest stage of his career – the World Championships in Singapore from July 26-Aug 2.
