Diving legacy lives on as Arif follows dad Rossharisham into national team


PETALING JAYA: Nearly two decades after perfecting his pikes and somersaults at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil, former national diver Rossharisham Roslan will soon watch his son, Arif Aisy Rossharisham, take the plunge on the very same springboard.

The 15-year-old is following in his father’s footsteps and will join the national training set-up in Bukit Jalil in mid-June.
