In the last event today, pool darlings Pandelela Rinong-Nur Dhabitah Sabri won the women’s 10m platform synchronised event at the Aquatic Sports Palace.

The duo amassed 292.14 points after completing five dives to clinch the ninth overall gold for Malaysia in Hanoi, while Singaporean twins Ong Sze En-Ong Rei En took home the silver with 225.42 points.

Vietnam’s Bui Thị Hong Giang-Mai Hong Hanh scored 185.25 points to finish third. However, no bronze medal was awarded as only three pairs took part.
