Still going strong: Leong Mun Yee and Hanis Nazirul Jaya Surya competing in the 10m mixed synchro final at the 8th Asian Diving Cup in Kuala Lumpur last September.
PETALING JAYA: After 25 years in the business, diver Leong Mun Yee is ready to face what may be the biggest challenge of her sporting career – to be the first Malaysian athlete to compete in five Olympics.
Mun Yee was one of the pioneer divers for the national team when the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia started to focus on diving in 1995 to prepare for the Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games three years later. She was only 13 when she took part in the Games.
