Diving powerhouse China will launch the sport's first professional league before the end of the year, as it seeks to capitalise on the success and celebrity of its near-invincible Olympic team, local media said on Tuesday. The league is likely to kick off with a two-week stint in December and foreign divers would be invited to take part, China's head diving coach, Zhou Jihong, told Xinhua news agency.
China's Wu Minxia will make her bid to become the most decorated female Olympic diver at the Rio de Janeiro Games.
