Teen Hua Wei shocks favourite for solo synchro gold


Labour of love: Malaysian Gan Hua Wei with her gold medal after winning the solo technical routine in synchronised swimming at the National Aquatics Centre in Bukit Jalil.

A TEENAGER, who loves listening to the violin in her free time and who was formerly into ballet, delivered a surprise gold for Malaysia in the solo technical event on the first day of the synchronised swimming competition.

Gan Hua Wei, of Seremban, was the second last performer last night and knew she had to beat Singaporean Debbie Soh’s score of 73.8253 points to snatch gold at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil.
