TOKYO, July 26 — The focus of all Malaysian sports fans will surely be on the combination of Pandelela Rinong-Leong Mun Yee to deliver the country’s first medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games when they compete in the diving event tomorrow.

In fact, he said Pandelela-Mun Yee’s achievement in qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics by winning a silver in the event by scoring 312.72 points at the 18th FINA Diving World Championships in South Korea in July 2019 puts them in a great position to bag a medal in Tokyo this time. Last Friday , the archer, who hails from Segamat, Johor, got the first day of the archery event off in style when she improved on her personal best in the ranking round of the women’s individual recurve event.

The Malaysians face a must-win situation following their 16-21, 19-21 loss to Indonesians Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan in their second Group D match today.
