ADDING to China\u2019s rich tradition on the diving board, the duo of Tong Jia and Lin Yuan captured gold on Sunday in the women\u2019s 10-meter synchro competition at the 11th edition of the World Championships. The Chinese have been a global power in diving for decades and should maintain that excellence through the next Olympiad, which will be held in Beijing.<\/p>\n
