NANNING， May 10 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Olympic diving lineup is almost decided as the last Olympic trial ended here on Tuesday.
Although the final squad still needs time to be released， it can be seen from the results of the five qualifications.
Olympic and world champions Wu Minxia and Chen Ruolin will spearhead the 13-member diving team to compete in the Rio Games， but the two star divers only qualified for the synchro event.
Wu， the oldest women diver in the team， will take part in the 3m springboard synchro with Shi Tingmao， while Chen， double Olympic champion， will pair up with Liu Huixia in the 10m platform synchro.
Olympic runner-up He Zi and World Cup winner Shi Tingmao will take part in the women's 3m springboard， while World Championships silver medalist Ren Xi and Si Yajie will compete in the 10m platform.
In the men's events， world champ Qiu Bo and Olympic rookie Chen Aisen will try to win the 10m platform gold， which has been missed in the previous two Olympic Games. Chen will also take part in the synchro event with veteran Lin Yue.
World champion He Chao， brother of Olympic champion He Chong， will make his Olympic debut in the 3m springboard with Cao Yuan， and the latter will also compete in the synchro springboard with veteran Qin Kai.
The "dream team" of China claimed six out of the eight gold medals on offer at the London Games four years ago. They won eight out of the 11 at last World Championships， and bagged six out of the eight at the World Cup this year.
Chinese diving team leader Zhou Jihong kept a low key towards the Rio Games.
"I am worried about all eight events，" she said on Tuesday.
According to Zhou， the men's events are more difficult than the women's.
"It is always till the last dive that can we know the winner of the men's events，" she said. "It is very hard. Our rivals are at high-level， very experienced and at the same time very young. We have no advantage in the men's events."
China also lost the women's 10m platform title at the Kazan worlds last year， and Zhou said the women's platform always has "dark horses".
"It is the only diving event that can see dark horse， as others need more experience and strength，" she said.
According to Zhou， the diving team still need some procedures before they unveil the squad， but they will try to make it soon.
The diving team will go to Guangzhou in June to have outdoor training in order to prepare for the Games.
Thailand has exploded onto the world tourist stage in the last 20 years and it's easy to see why. Superb natural scenery from the mountains of the north to the beaches of the south Ivan Perisic Jersey , marvellous temples and ancient ruins, a fabulous piquant cuisine and a relaxed and friendly people make Thailand the ideal Asia destination for visitors of all ages. However Geoffrey Kondogbia Jersey , for most visitors, the most enchanting sight is that of the Thai temple.
Bangkok is home to over 400 temples from the ancient to the modern. These fantastic creations with their multilayered roofs and kaleidoscopic colours amaze and delight all visitors. Somerset Maugham said they were examples of the 'the playful boldness of man'. One of Bangkok most interesting temples is Wat Po Gary Medel Jersey , known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
Wat Po is on most tourist itineraries owing to its massive reclining Buddha. But a wander through the rest of the temple is extremely rewarding.
Wat Po in fact served as Bangkok's first university. In the 19th century, King Rama 3 enlarged the temple compound and added stone tablets illustrating Thai traditional medicine. He also created the hermit's garden which is populated with statues of hermits in various contortions which are based on yoga. At the end of the temple compound are the massage pavilions which offer traditional Thai massages and also courses teaching massage.
The northern capital of Chiang Mai Gabriel Jersey , though a fraction of the size of Bangkok, has almost as many temples. Most are northern style structures showing a strong Burmese influence. Stone lions stand guard at the gate and writhing nagas or celestial serpents form the balustrades to stairways.
Chiangmai's most eminent temple is considered to be Wat Phra Singh which stands in the old walled city. A temple was first built on this site in 1345 and the original stupa or pagoda still stands.
The viharn or assembly hall houses the Phra Singh image and is notable for its mural paintings depicting traditional life in northern Thailand in the 19th century.
On the southern island of Phuket in the Andaman Sea stands the temple of Wat Chalong Eder Jersey , a place of much history and legend. Known officially as Wat Chaitararam, the temple is located in the Chalong district in the north of Phuket.
The main pagoda at Wat Chalong contains a splinter of bone that is said to have come from the Buddha. The chedi is adorned with murals and Buddha images.
Wat Chalong played a dramatic role in the 19th century when Chinese labourers rioted over being denied opium. The abbot of the temple Davide Santon Jersey , Luang Poh Cham, rallied the locals to stand and fight the rioting Chinese and eventually save the day.
These are just three of the thousands of fascinating Buddhist temples that grace Thailand. A visit to any temple is not only a feast for the eyes but also the heart and soul.
