PETALING JAYA: National waterskiing ace Aaliyah Yoong Hanifah (pic) is hoping for a podium finish when she starts her 2025 season at the IWWF University World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand, this week.

The 21-year-old has had a long layoff of five months from competing due to her university studies and second-year exams at Florida Southern College but did not have to sacrifice her training during that time.
