PETALING JAYA: Malaysian diver Cheong Jun Hoong has gone through career-threatening injuries throughout her diving career, but her luck may be about to change in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Jun Hoong was left out of the World Championships in Kazan, Russia, in July last year at the last-minute after she injured both her heels while training in China.
