Elbow injury, but diver Max still wins Asian silver

The 16-year-old had suffered soft tissue damage in his right elbow after tripping on some stairs, and the doctor initially told him that he would not be able to compete.

Undeterred, Max saw a physiotherapist every day for his rehabilitation and eventually received medical clearance for competition two days before the Singapore contingent flew off to China on Oct 21.

Despite missing training, the teenager still finished on the podium at the Jiangmen Sports Centre, winning a silver in the men's 3m springboard synchro event with Ayden Ng on Oct 24.

Compatriots Alycia Lim and Clara Liaw also bagged the women's 3m springboard synchro bronze earlier in the day, making it the first time that the Republic has won a diving medal at the Asian level in at least 15 years, according to Singapore Aquatics' (SAQ) records.

On Oct 25, Megan Yow and Ainslee Kwang added a bronze in the women's 10m platform synchro event after scoring 234.9 points.

China's Wang Weiying and Xu Nan (296.52) took gold, while North Korea's Kim Kyong Sim and Ri Hyang Sim (260.04) bagged silver.
