JUMP STARTING THE CYCLE

Fresh faces join seasoned veterans in first major test of new Olympic journey

This Saturday, against the backdrop of Singapore's towering skyline, China's all-conquering diving team is hoping to hit even greater heights at the World Aquatics Championships.

For the nation's diving "Dream Team", it will be a 19th appearance on the world stage and the first major test of the new Olympic cycle following its heroics in Paris.

At this pivotal moment of transition, the perennial powerhouse is facing a test of not just skill, but of depth and resilience. Fourteen athletes will compete across all 13 diving events, blending experience with fresh young talent.
