PR39 - China takes it all in the last leg in Nanjing

China largely dominated the third and last leg of the 2008 FINA Diving World Series, held in Nanjing (CHN), on May 30-31, by getting eight gold medals out of the eight events at stake. With a couple of months until the Olympic Games, also at home (in Beijing), the Chinese stars made it clear that they will be the nation-to-beat in the major international competition of the year.
