Diver Dhabitah leads Malaysia's medal charge on Day 14 of Paris Olympics [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: Four Malaysian athletes will be in action on Day 14 of the Paris Olympics today, with fans anticipating thrilling moments across golf, track cycling, and diving.

Malaysia's campaign kicks off with Ashley Lau, who will tee off in the third round of the women's golf competition at 3pm. 

Ashley is aiming to climb the leaderboard and make a strong push for a medal.

At 4pm, diver Bertrand Rhodict Lises will make his Olympic debut in the men's individual 10m platform preliminaries. 

The young diver has shown great promise in the lead-up to the Games, and all eyes will be on him as he aims to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Four hours later, attention will shift to the velodrome, where track cyclist Nurul Izzah Izzati will compete in the women's sprint qualifiers. 

Should she advance, the next rounds are scheduled for 8:48pm. 

Nurul Izzah, a rising star in Malaysian cycling, will be aiming to make her mark on the international stage.

Malaysia's medal hope Nur Dhabitah Sabri will compete in the women's 3m springboard final at 9pm. 

Known affectionately as Malaysia's "diving queen," Nur Dhabitah is no stranger to the pressures of the big stage, and fans will be hoping she can secure a podium finish.

In other Olympic news, Indonesia's Veedriq Leonardo made history by winning gold in the men's speed climbing event, marking a significant achievement for his country, on Thursday.

Meanwhile, China's Chang Yuan became the first woman boxer to win Olympic gold in the bantamweight division, defeating Turkey's Hatice Akbas by unanimous decision.

On the waters, Britain's Ellie Aldridge claimed the first-ever Olympic gold in kiteboarding, while New Zealand's Lisa Carrington added to her already impressive medal haul by leading her women's kayak four crew to victory, bringing her personal tally to six gold and one bronze.

The United States currently top the medal standings with 30 gold, 38 silver, and 35 bronze medals, with two days of action remaining. 

The U.S. have been the overall Olympic champions 18 times.

China remain close behind with 29 gold, 25 silver, and 19 bronze medals, while Australia are third with a haul of 18 gold, 14 silver, and 13 bronze.

The race for the top spot in the medal standings promises an exciting finish to the Paris Olympics.
