MELAKA: National diver Traisy Vivien Tukiet performed to expectations to deliver Sarawak’s second gold on the second day of the diving competition at Aquatics Centre, Hang Jebat Sports Complex yesterday.
Competing her only event in Sukma, the women’s 10m platform, Traisy had no problem in beating two other national divers Kam Kar Ling and Jasmine Lai both of Perak with a total of 268.35 points.
Kar Ling collected 236.95 points to settle for the silver while Jasmine garnered 225.05 points to collect the bronze.
“Traisy easily won the contest because she is specialist in the platform while the other two national divers are not,” Sarawak team manager Amy Choo said.
At the last Sukma in Terengganu, Traisy won two golds and a silver. The golds were won with her partner Pandelela Rinong in the women’s synchronised platform and women’s 3m springboard while the silver was won in the women’s platform.
Traisy also won a silver at the Laos SEA Games last year, behind gold medallist and fellow Sarawakian Pandelela.
The 16-year-old at Bukit Jalil Sports School, who said she was happy to win the gold and did not target to win the gold, just kept cool and gave her best in the competition.
Asked whether she dreamt of becoming an Olympic diver one day, Traisy replied: “I haven’t thought of that yet.”
Prior to Sukma, Traisy has competed in the World Cup in China early last month and made it to the semi-finals.
Her next assignment is to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India this October.
