Gabriel-Syafiq amassed 376.77 points after a total of six dives to win silver in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard final at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.

Home duo Anthony Harding-Jack David Laugher were a class above other competitors as they raked up 438.33 points to earn gold while Australia’s Samuel Fricker-Shixin Li took bronze with 374.52 points.

Two other national divers, Ong Ker Ying and Kimberly Bong, finished in 10th and 12th places respectively in the preliminary round of the women’s 1m springboard.

Ker Ying collected 207.50 points while Kimberly scored 204.75 points on the second day of diving events.

They will be back in action for the final, to be held later today at 6.05pm local time (1.05 am Saturday Malaysian time).

Yesterday, Pandelela started the national camp’s diving campaign in dismal fashion as she lost the opportunity to bring home a medal in the women’s individual 10m platform final, finishing 11th out of 12 divers.
