The London 2012 Olympics bronze medalist is still the humble and polite teen even though she is now the celebrated athlete. She’s also the country’s first female Olympic medal winner and our first female flag bearer at an Olympics opening parade.

In conjunction with the launch of the Chevrolet Sonic at National Aquatic Centre, Pandelela was presented with the keys to the new car.

Caught up with some of the teams taking part in the Rainforest Challenge in Melaka today. Among the teams at the remote camp site in the Bukit Batu Lebak Forest Reserve were the only two ladies in the competition.

The women of steel were repairing their battered vehicle while the men in the support team cooked. On left is Yati with the high-lift jack and checking the Centipede MT tyres is Nurin. Their vehicle is a Suzuki Vitara fitted with a 3,000 cc Nissan QD engine and two PTO winches.
