Pool perfectionists primed for glory

If the form book can be trusted, China's aquatics aces look primed to clean up at the 2017 FINA World Championships, which open on Friday and run through July 30 in Budapest, Hungary.

The country's swimmers, divers and water polo players have targeted a total of 15 gold medals at the competition.

China's swimmers hope to account for five of those, with three-time Olympic champion Sun Yang, men's backstroke specialist Xu Jiayu and women's backstroke sprinter Fu Yuanhui leading the charge.
