Malaysia's "diving queen" Pandelela Rinong, despite her harmonious coordination with her teammate Nur Dhabitah Sabri, does not take lightly challenges in the women's team event at the upcoming 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 31) to be hosted by Vietnam this month.

POC President Rep. Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino said majority of the 39 national sports associations which are fielding athletes to Vietnam have submitted tentative rosters for the May 12 to 25 Games.
