KUALA LUMPUR: The national divers will skip the Puerto Rico and Canadian legs of the Diving Grand Prix next month.

Previously, Malaysia had participated in the two events. But with his mind hell-bent on winning medals at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August, national coach Yang Zhuliang wants his charges to concentrate on their training.
