KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia diver Pamg Pandelela Rinong secured a historic Olympic medal for the country on Thursday, the first-ever diving medal of Malaysia and second medal the country earned at the London Olmpics. Pamg came from behind in the women's 10m platform final to take a bronze medal, adding the second Olympic medal for Malaysia following the silver of Lee Chong Wei in men's badminton singles. The 19-year-old had a worrying start in the final as she staged a poor first dive – a forward three-and-a-half somersault in pike position – which put her in 10th position. But she worked her way back step by step, and stood in 7th place before the final dive. Pamg's beautiful last dive saw her climbing from seventh to third, and finally step on the Olympic podium. She has brought the first-ever diving Olympic medal for Malaysia.
