Nur Dhabitah Sabri is looking to build on her experience at the Tokyo Olympics.

This, after the Malaysian diver finished a credible fourth place in the women’s 3m springboard final yesterday.

The 22-year-old says she’s still young with many years of competition ahead of her, and will use the lessons learned in Tokyo to improve for the future.

This was Dhabitah’s best finish at the Olympics, having previously ended fifth in the 3m springboard synchro in the 2016 edition of the Games.

The Italian took the gold medal ahead of the USA’s Fred Kerley and Canada’s Andre de Grasse in the first Games since the retirement of sprint legend Usain Bolt.

This is the first time since 2000 that the Olympic gold medalist is not from Jamaica or the USA.
