China’s divers won both gold medals on offer at the Asian Games yesterday, led by Olympic champion Chen Ruolin and Wang Hao (picture) who won the women’s synchronised 10m platform event. The pairing of Qin Kai and Luo Yutong kept China in the gold by winning the men’s synchronised 3m springboard as the nation looked to repeat its clean sweep of the diving championships at the 2006 Doha Asiad. China is seeking to bag all 10 gold medals at the Asian Games. The nation’s elite divers dominated the podium at the 2008 Olympics with seven of the eight gold on offer.
