Pandelela pulls out with shoulder pain at Singapore Worlds
SINGAPORE: A recurring shoulder injury proved costly for Pandelela Rinong, forcing her and partner Lee Yiat Qing to withdraw halfway through their women's 10m platform synchro routine at the World Aquatics Championships on Monday. The Malaysian pair completed just two of five dives, scoring 87 points, before pulling out during the preliminaries at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. Pandelela revealed that the injury, sustained earlier this month, flared up during the warm-up session. "After two dives, we decided to withdraw for safety reasons," she wrote on Facebook. "Thank you, especially to those who came to the venue to support us." It was a double setback for Malaysia, as Nurqayyum Nazmi Nazim-Yong Rui Jie also failed to progress in the men's 3m springboard synchro. The pair finished 21st out of 26 pairs, with a total of 302.76 points, well outside the top-eight cut-off required for the final. - Bernama
