Sarawakian diver Pandelela Rinong won the bronze medal during last night’s women’s 10m individual platform event. The 19-year old did not only bring back Malaysia’s first Olympic medal in a sport other than badminton, she is also the first Malaysian female to bring home an Olympics medal!
According to NST, Pandelela hopes that her win will inspire more Malaysians to take up diving as the sport can bring honour to our country.
Congratulations! We at Lipstiq.com think that it’s amazing that such a young girl has so much determination and dedication to succeed at the world’s most famous (and hardest) sports’ event. Thank you, Pandelela!
