Teen titans stand tall in China's diving dynasty

By Agencies | China Daily | Updated: 2016-08-20 07:47

Fifteen-year-old schoolgirl Ren Qian followed in the footsteps of Chinese diving great Fu Mingxia when she became the youngest medalist of the Rio Games with her 10m platform gold on Thursday.

The reigning World Cup champion became the second-youngest winner of the women's 10m platform since Fu became the icon of the 1992 Barcelona Games by winning the 10m platform at age 13.

Ren emerged from the shadows of 17-year-old teammate Si Yajie, who had dominated the qualifiers and semifinals in Rio, to give China six wins out of seven events in the Olympic diving competition.
