Malaysian diver Cheong Jun Hoong hopes to end her long lay-off due to a serious knee injury by returning to training by March.
The 28-year-old is still undergoing treatment at the National Sports Institute (NSI).
"I hope to return to normal training as soon as I get the green light from the NSI. I’m doing well in my recovery process, so hopefully I can get back into action soon," she told reporters at former national swimmer Robert Lim's Everything is a Story - The Memoirs of Dato' Robert Lim book launch on Thursday.
She also did not rule out the possibility of skipping the first World Cup Series, which will be held in Japan in March, to ensure she would be fully fit to compete in other 2020 Tokyo Olympic qualifying tournaments, including the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, in July.
Meanwhile, the 2017 World Aquatics gold medallist said she was ready to train under any coach selected by the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia (ASUM).
Zhang Yukun, who was in charge of training national female divers, decided not to renew his contract to take up a coaching role in China.
"Of course, I would prefer to train under a coach from China because I'm used to their training methods, but I’m willing to train under anyone selected by the ASUM," said the 2017 national sportswoman.
