PETALING JAYA: Malaysian divers gearing up for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are facing uncertain times, no thanks to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Pandelela Rinong-Leong Mun Yee now have one fewer competition to look forward to as Fina, the governing body for aquatics, have cancelled the Chinese leg of the Diving World Series in Beijing from March 7-9.
