AFTER returning from a left eye injury that almost ended her career, Loh Zhiayi has set her sights on qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The promising diver showed she’s back on the right track after ending her Malaysia Games (Sukma) campaign on a high by splashing to the girls’ 3m springboard gold medal at the Tuanku Zara Aquatic Centre in Ipoh.
