Freida Lim's swansong did not pan out the way she had hoped, but the national diver said she was still satisfied by her showing at the Games in Tokyo as she bade farewell to the 10m platform tower. The 23-year-old made history yesterday by becoming the first Singaporean...

She said that she normally struggled with the first two dives in her repertoire and would do"pretty well" for the next two, but that was not the case here.

Lim has described herself as having a"bochup" personality but admitted she felt stressed and overwhelmed at the Olympics. The Chinese coach, who first mentored Lim in 2018, felt he had over-trained Lim in Tokyo. Normally, he would give her a few days' rest in the lead-up to a competition. For now, Lim plans to soak up the rest of the diving competition - teammate Jonathan Chan will compete in the men's 10m platform tomorrow - and attend the closing ceremony before returning to Singapore.
