HANOI: The national diving team made another golden harvest when the combination of Ng Yan Yee-Ong Ker Ying produced outstanding performances to dominate the women's synchronished 3 metre (m) springboard event in the 31st SEA Games at My Dinh Aquatic Centre here today.

Yan Yee-Ker Ying who are partnering for the first time on International stage were crowned winners when they collected an overall of 276.30 points in five dives.
