Last night, 5 May, national diver Pandelela Rinong created a miracle by winning Malaysia's first-ever gold medal in the Diving World Cup
According to FINA, the official website of the competition, "the victory rewarded not so much the excellence but rather the consistency. And the strongest in this field was Malaysia's Pandelela Rinong."
