Syukur Alhamdulilah. Bronze medal in 3metre individual. Never thought I can get a medal in an individual event & competing together with awesome divers from around the world. I’ve never could have done this without the support from my family,teammates & people supporting from home. I’m also very proud with my partners @syafiq_leonada & @ngyanyeewendy for fighting together with me till the end!

Although this wasn't the first time she's ever won a medal at the DWS, but this time it's a little bit sweeter: Nur Dhabitah made history as the first Malaysian podium finisher in the women's 3m springboard individual event since the DWS commenced in 2007.

Two years ago, she won silver in the women's 10m platform synchro event with Pandelela Rinong.
