However, this has been dampened by news of blurred out photos of the athletes’ body parts, including one Instagram page using a heavily censored photo of national diver Nur Dhabitah Sabri while praising her for her achivements at the event.

In a post uploaded by Twitter user @MHaffizJ, Dhabitah’s arms, neck, legs, and hair were pixelated.

To add an additional layer of absurdity, many praised the page’s admin for making an effort to ‘cover’ Dhabitah’s exposed body parts.

Some were also shocked to find that even Dhabitah’s hair was deemed inappropriate and had to be pixelated.
