EYES ON TOKYO
After competing at three previous editions of the Olympic Games, she says the 2020 Games in Tokyo may be her final Olympic appearance. "Tokyo 2020 is another milestone and I want to achieve something special in my diving career. It could be my last Olympics, therefore I want to prepare hard and give my all for it. The expectations are high and honestly, it's not easy. But I want to have some breakthrough in my fourth Olympics. Leong Mun Yee [synchronised partner] and I have been training hard to maintain our overall fitness level as we are not getting any younger. As each of us strive to improve ourselves, this will also motivate and inspire each other to be better in training and competition." (thestar.com.my, 01 Jan 2020)
