Newlv-Paired Mun Yee- Dhabitah Aim to Prove Themselves Veterandiver Leong Mun Yee Is Happy That the Spotlight Is Not on Her
Newlv-paired Mun Yee- Dhabitah aim to prove themselves VETERANdiver Leong Mun Yee is happy that the spotlight is not on her. But that has not stopped the 33-year-old from quietly hoping for a medal of her own in the 10m synchro event when the diving com- petition starts at the Optus Aquatic Centre today. Mun Yee will team up with Nur Dhabitah Sabri but all eyes will be on Olympic silver medallists and World Championships bronze medallist Pandelela Rinong and Cheong [un Hoang to deliver the goods. Mun Yee, who is in her fourth Games appearance, believes she and her 18-year-old partner cannot be overlooked. "Pandelela-Jun Hoang are the focus in the 10m synchro while Dhabitah and I are just the other pair," mused Mun Yee. "Its going to be a tough as all the divers are ranked in the top three. "My partnership with Dhabitah is quite new and this is our first year diving together. "But we are doing the same degree of diffi- culty as the others and are hoping for the best." Mun Yee-Dhabitah will also compete in the 3m springboard synchro today. "It'll be a challenge because the weather here is cold, windy and hot at the same time," said Mun Yee,who has only trained in 3m syn- chro for three months. "I'm excited to get started but I'll keep my focus," she added. The other Malaysians in action today are Ooi Tze Liang, Ahmad Amsyar Azman and Mohd Syafiq Puteh in the men's 1m springboard indi- vidual.

16Th FINA World Championships 2015 in Kazan
16th FINA World Championships July 24 - August 9, 2015 PATRICK HAUSDING: THE FINA WORLDS IS OUR LUCKY TICKET TO RIO 2016 24.07.2015, 15:53 Renowned German divers Sascha Klein and Patrick Hausding are the main SPORT candidates for gold. After the training session at the Aquatics Palace the athletes shared their thoughts about opponents and expressed their attitude towards the mixed duets. Germany had not made the podium approximately for 40 years up until Barcelona 2013 where their duet Sascha Klein and Patrick Hausding claimed gold medal in the 10m platform event. Two years in a row, at Shanghai 2011 and Barcelona 2013 Sasha Klein rounded out the podium in third in individual dives coming after US diver David Boudia and tireless Chinese athlete Qiu Bo. Patrick Hausding, who earned Beijing 2008 silver together with Sascha Klein, successfully performs in springboard and platform events. Their duet is an example of collaborative work of two mature independent athletes. The European Championships certainly prove that. – Who do you think is your main opponent? S.K.: As for the synchronised diving I guess athletes from China, Mexico, Cuba (all of them are definitely good at synchronised routine), Russia as well. As for Individual diving China, the USA, Russia, Ukraine. – What dives are you focusing on more right now? S.K.: On both of them. Synchronised diving is scheduled on Sunday, thus there will be a week left to get ready for the individual ones. – Once you’ve said your heart fills with joy when everyone wins except for Chinese athletes. P.H.: I am a pretty unbiased person.
