最后一个激动人心的项目是跳水，对中国队而言，除了得到金牌，其余的结果都会令人失望。在跳板和跳台上进行的跳水比赛自1908年奥运会开始就是其中的组成部分。随着时间的过去，跳水运动员开始运用越来越复杂的动作，试图用更高难度的旋转和翻转来博取完美的得分。各种各样的比赛项目也增加了其乐趣，跳水选手们参加的比赛从3米板到10米台，或者在双人跳中同步完成复杂的动作。

    The Chinese diving squad has dominated the sport for years, and in Beijing, these phenomenal athletes seem certain to impress the crowds once more. Wang Feng and Qin Kai are undoubtedly the hot favorites in the men's 3 meter springboard event. So too are their teammates Jia Tong and Chen Ruolin in the women's events. Athens Olympic champions Peng Bo, Hu Jia and Yang Jinghui should also hopefully compete this summer after periods of absence through injury."Diving queen", Guo Jingjing, will also be there, as will Olympic champions Wu Minxia and Li Ting, and this formidable squad is now tipped even to surpass China’s outstanding achievements in Athens

    中国跳水队统治该项目已经多年 ......
