Commonwealth Games: Dhabitah, Yan Yee spring to silver medal for Malaysia

Nur Dhabitah Sabri and Ng Yan Yee combined to deliver a silver medal in the women's synchronised three-metre springboard event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The pair registered 299.85 points to finish behind Rio 2016 bronze winners Maddison Keenye and Anabelle Luce Smith (316.53 points) and fend off a strong challenge from Canada's Margo Erlam and Mia Vallée (297.00 points).

It was Malaysia's second medal in diving events after Gabriel Gilbert Daim and Syafiq Puteh also won a silver medal in the men's three-metre springboard final.

On a personal level, it was the first Commonwealth Games silver medal for Dhabitah, who won three bronze in the last two editions, while Ng became a first-time medallist.
