Divers Cheong Jun Hoong and Pandelela Rinong (the girl in the photo) won Malaysia’s first medal at the #Rio Olympic Games after clinching silver in the women’s 10m platform synchronised on Tuesday. Jun Hoong-Pandelela scored a total 344.34 points to finish second behind China’s Chen Ruolin-Liu Huixia (354.00). Third were Canada’s Meaghan Benfeito-Roseline Filion with 336.18 points. The Malaysians had an outing to remember as they were never out of the medal places in all five dives. They were placed joint-second after the first two dives, third after the third dive and back into second after the fourth, a position which they didn’t relinquish. “We are so proud to have won Malaysia’s first medal at this #Olympics, there was pressure but we told ourselves to keep calm and focus on doing what we had been doing in training. I am so glad that our hard work has paid off.” said Pandelela, 23.

Congratulations Jun Hoong and Pandelela Rinong
