Top divers back at Water Cube

BEIJING - The world's top divers will gather at the Water Cube, the venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic diving competitions, as the FINA Diving World Series' Beijing stop splashes off on Friday.

The home squad is led by Olympic and world synchronized springboard women's champion Wu Minxia, 10m platform women's Olympic champion Chen Ruolin and men's 3m springboard Olympic champion He Chong.

At the last stop, in Moscow, the Chinese team claimed seven gold medals out of eight. However, for the home competition, the team's leader declined to predict a sweep.
