KUALA LUMPUR: National swimmer Dhuha Zulfikry has shown he is back near his best after overcoming injury setbacks, posting times close to his personal best ahead of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and Asian Games later this year.

The 18-year-old was hampered by a pinched nerve in his shoulder, which dashed his hopes of winning a medal at the Thailand SEA Games last December.
