Diving
China's formidable diving squad swept all eight titles at last year's Shanghai World Championships, and it will be desperate to go one better than in 2008, when it missed out on gold in the men's 10m platform and finished with seven golds.
Although host diver Thomas Daley boasts high-difficulty routines and home support, world champion Qiu Bo, who is dubbed the "Consistency King", should be up for the challenge.
Still, team manager Zhou Jihong remains cautious.
"Our winning streak may lead to complacency and make us neglect our weaknesses. It is quite a challenge, actually," Zhou said.
