LONDON (Reuters) - Triple Olympic swimming gold medallist Ranomi Kromowidjojo is hopeful that Dutch relay team mate Inge Dekker will be with her in Rio after undergoing successful cervical cancer surgery.

Dekker, 30, was diagnosed in February and had an operation in March. She is not competing at this week's European championships at the London Olympic pool but Rio remains her main target.
