Koon also claimed a silver and three bronze medals and her efforts earned her RM180,000 in cash reward from the National Sports Council (NSC). However, her relationship with national chief coach Elena Kholodova then turned sour following claims of Kholodova demanding a portion of Koon’s cash reward forcing Koon to resign from gymnastics.
