The Chinese diving "dream team" maintained their dominance at the FINA Diving World Series as they swept all the three gold medals on offer, according to the official website of FINA, the world swimming governing body.
The Chinese divers showed supremacy in the women's 10m platform here on Saturday. Ren Qian and Si Yajie made a strong impression in the final. They decidedly took initiative in their hands to book the double win ahead of schedule, reports Xinhua news agency.
