KUALA LUMPUR: With just one plunge, Malaysian diver Ooi Tze Liang has laid to rest the ghosts that have been haunting him since the World Aquatics Championships in Kazan, Russia last month.

It also earned him a second Olympic spot in the men’s 10m platform individual. He had won the 3m springboard contest in the Asian Diving Cup on Friday to earn a quota spot for next year’s Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
