As Malaysians paid their full attention to Peng Soon-Liu Ying's much anticipated finals last night, our diving queens Pandelela Rinong and Nur Dhabitah Sabri have safely made it to the semi-finals of the women's 10m platform dive event!
Both divers performed consistently throughout their routines, with four dives that were above the 60-point mark
Pandelela scored 72.00, 65.25, 73.60, 52.80, 68.80, with the third dive putting her in third place. She fell to the fifth place after the fourth dive but managed to climb up to the sixth position.
As for Nur Dhabitah, she scored 72.00, 41.60, 75.90, 64.35, 72.00, with the second dive putting her at risk of elimination. However, she redeemed herself with an amazing third dive.
Pandelela is seeking for another medal after clinching the silver medal with fellow diver Cheong Jun Hoong. For Nur Dhabitah, the event offers her another chance for a medal after missing out on the 3m springboard synchronised dive.
China’s Si Yajie and Ren Qian led the qualifiers with American Jessica Parrato coming in third.
The semifinal for the women’s 10m platform diving will take place at 9pm tonight, Malaysian time. Make sure you tune in! :D
