Additional Information

General
EARLY DAYS
At age 14 she left her hometown of Kuching, Malaysia, and moved to Kuala Lumpur to begin training with the national team. A year later she made her Olympic debut at the 2008 Games in Beijing. She has gone on to make a further three appearances at the Games, winning bronze in 2012 and silver in 2016. "At the age of 14, I left home to pursue my career as a national diver. I had to make some sacrifices. I had to learn how to be independent, to be wiser. And then I had to learn new skills in order to become independent. As I gradually improved in diving, I surprised myself when I qualified for my first Olympic Games in Beijing at the age of 15. Since then, I forced myself to think wiser than my age and set long-term goals to compete in more Olympics." (olympics, 04 Aug 2021; astroawani, 25 Jul 2021)
