PETALING JAYA: It’s all systems go for the Malaysian team as they look forward to sealing more Olympic Games tickets at the Diving World Cup in Japan, amidst the rise in new Covid-19 cases in Tokyo.

The divers and coaches were at the Japanese Embassy in Kuala Lumpur yesterday to collect their entry visa required to participate in their first tournament in more than a year at the World Cup from May 1-6. The meet has been postponed twice because of the Covid-19 pandemic before FINA, the governing body for aquatics, managed to fix the new slot.
