Tough luck: Cheong Jun Hoong went for surgery on her right knee after pulling out of the Asian Games in Jakarta last August and has been undergoing rehabilitation.

PETALING JAYA: Hopes of seeing a repeat of another gold medal triumph in the Diving World Series will not materialise as world champion Cheong Jun Hoong has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Jun Hoong partnered Pandelela Rinong to clinch a historic gold in the women’s 10m platform synchro in the third leg of the series in Montreal, Canada, last year.
