Hopes take a dive


She’ll be there: Nur Dhabitah Sabri is one of four divers who have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian divers received a massive blow to their Olympic hopes when FINA, the world governing body for aquatics, called off the Diving World Cup scheduled in Tokyo in two weeks’ time.

Apparently, the event from April 18-23 had to be scrapped as the hosts wanted to impose an additional quarantine upon arrival for officials while athletes are exempted.
