malaysia failed to get a medal in womens 10m synchronised diving again...disappointed...7th out of 8
 
It was a difficult field out there .... the Chinese and Mexicans were way ahead of the rest and probably the only 2 who were consistently great. From 3rd to 8th, it all depends on how many tiny mistakes were made.

Was watching with high hopes last night, was hoping that the pair could at least get a bronze but it was just not meant to be. Pandalela and Mun Yee's arms were always not in sync in their routines. Mun Yee's messy back dive entry also cost the pair some points.

Anyways, best wishes for the MAS diving team and Im looking forward the men's next event and the individuals event.
 
Looking forward to the interesting clash between Qiu Bo v home fave Tom Daley in 10m platform...:)

Finally, Chinese divers had to bow to the unheralded Russian in the 3m springboard men's event. And the Russian was among the lowest of the qualifiers ..... talk about improving your standards at the final.
 
Malaysian diver Pandelela Rinong Pamg just doubled her country's OLY medals with a bronze in the 10m platform.
Congratulations!!
 
Wow, AlanY, you are faster than me. Congrats to Pandeela, in the beginning she looked like she wasnt going make it as she didnt do well in 2 dives. This is Msia's 1st medal in diving.:D
 
Damn it, every time I read the thread's topic I'm thinking of diving for the shuttle but then I read the forum it was posted in -.-

None of the divers did very consistent scores - except the gold medallist. From silver medal position to sixth, the gap was only 10 pts. And the last place finisher was only another 10 pts behind. Such a close contest for minor medals.

Ya, it's been that way since the preliminary rounds. Even China's Hu Yadan went down to bottom of the pack, that's very surprising. I have never seen her dive this bad. She and the gold medalist, Chen RL had always finished 1,2 in competitions.
The silver medalist from Aust is a surprise too, a newcomer.

BORNEO, SARAWAK, SARAWAKIAN

Pandelela Rinong Olympic bronze medallist!!

POSTED BY PAROCHIAL SARAWAKIAN⋅ AUGUST 10, 2012



PANDELELA Rinong Pamg — Olympic bronze medallist.

The 19-year-old from Kampung Jugan, Bau has done good at the London Olympics.

Yes defending champion Chen Roulin from China outclassed everyone in the field. And yes, the silver went to 16-year-old Australian Brittany Broben.

But the most important medal — as far as Sarawakians and Malaysians are concerned today — the bronze, that beautiful bronze medal, went to our girl Pandelela.

It is Malaysia’s first ever Olympic medal in diving! She scored 366.50 points, well ahead of fourth-placed Melissa Wu from Australia, who managed 358.10.

This Sarawakian star also beat Russia’s Yulia Koltunova, who won a silver medal in Athens; and Beijing silver medallist and Athens bronze medallist Paola Espinosa Sanchez from Mexico. The latter was also 2009 World Championships 10m platform gold medallist.

To say that I am over the moon is an understatement. Were there nervous moments? Absolutely, especially with her first dive, but Pandelela demonstrated why she is a world champion by shaking off the nerves and coming back strong.

Pandelela has proven why she was named Malaysian sportswoman of the year and chosen to be the country’s first woman flag bearer!

Well done Anak Sarawak. We are all so proud of you!

This is what US newspaper The Republic wrote about Pandelela:

Pandelela Pamg of Malaysia won the bronze at 359.20 for her country’s first Olympic medal in diving and first in any sport besides badminton.

“Diving is not as famous as other sports,” Pamg said. “I hope this will inspire other youth to take up this sport and support the Malaysian team.”

Pamg has been busy in London. She took eighth in 3-meter springboard synchro and seventh in 10-meter synchro.

Pamg didn’t advance out of the 10-meter preliminaries four years ago in Beijing. At the 2009 world meet, she and her partner won bronze in the synchro event, becoming the first Malaysians to win a world medal.

“I’m very proud and very honored to win the first medal for Malaysia,” she said. “I hope Malaysians are proud of me.”
