BANGKOK - Avvir Tham became the first Singaporean man to win a SEA Games diving gold in 60 years, when he claimed the men’s 1m springboard gold on Dec 17 with a new personal best of 370.35 points.

The 21-year-old is the first diver from the Republic to do so since Hui Peng Seng won the men’s springboard diving (required dives) gold in 1965. Tham had clinched silver in the same event in 2022 in Vietnam.
