Gabriel-Syafiq dive to silver at Commonwealths

KUALA LUMPUR: The unheralded combination of Gabriel Gilbert Daim and Syafiq Puteh rose to the occasion as they delivered an unexpected silver medal in the men's 3m springboard synchro event at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham today. The focus was on their more experienced counterparts in Ooi Tze Liang and Chew Yiwei to deliver a medal but they performed poorly in the five-pair event at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre. Competing in their second Games, Gabriel-Syafiq garnered 376.77 points to take the silver behind England's Anthony Harding-Jack Laugher, who posted 438.33.
