Wu primed to lead China to another golden windfall

China's Wu Minxia will make her bid to become the most decorated female Olympic diver at the Rio de Janeiro Games, fronting an attempt by her country to sweep all eight titles next month at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre.

The 30-year-old, who equaled her former diving partner's Guo Jingjing's record of four gold medals at the 2012 Olympics, will lead China's 13-member team, which is expected to dominate after winning six out of eight golds at test events in February.

China also won six of the eight titles at the London Games.
