So close: (Clockwise from left) Koi Sie Yan, Amy Kwan Dict Weng and Izzah Amzan competing in their respective disciplines in the team event yesterday.

TEARS flowed as Amy Kwan Dict Weng, Koi Sie Yan and Izzah Amzan came within a whisker to end Malaysia’s 20-year wait for a gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics.

Their best was just not good enough as they lost by 2.675 points to Cyprus to settle for silver.
