[UPDATED] 2022 SEA Games: Diving duo Ooi-Chew win second gold for M’sia

KUALA LUMPUR – Men’s diving pair Ooi Tze Liang-Chew Yi Wei win gold in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard, giving Malaysia its third medal at the 2022 Hanoi SEA Games.

The divers finished above host Vietnam’s Nguyen Tung Duong-Phung The Anh who finished second to win silver.

Unfortunately, the scoring system was faulty, and the judges had to give their scores manually for the six rounds.

There were no divers competing for the bronze medal in the event.

After their win, the pair told the media their win was special after not competing for 2 years due to the pandemic.

“This one is special for us because we have not been able to compete for quite some time.

“We want to thank all Malaysians for their continuous support even after the pandemic.

“This is the second time we are paired for this event and we’re very happy with our performance,” they said. 

This is Malaysia’s second gold medal after Nur Dhabitah Sabri won in the women’s 1m springboard, and Kimberly Bong Qian Ping won silver earlier today. – The Vibes, May 8, 2022
