PETALING JAYA: Leong Mun Yee, the national team’s most experienced diver, is certain to miss the Olympics in August.

The 31-year-old is expected to make way for Cheong Jun Hoong to partner Pandelela Rinong in the women’s 10m platform synchro as head coach Yang Zhuliang believes it will give Malaysia a better chance of winning an Olympic medal.
