‘Our dreams never came true.’ These men helped build Qatar’s World Cup, now they are struggling to survive

Zhou Jihong, manager of Chinese diving team, attends a press conference ahead of the FINA/CNSG Diving World Series 2019 in Beijing, China, 6 March 2019. After seven consecutive gold medals on the previous two days, China kept its winning streak on Sunday at the first leg of the FINA/CNSG Diving World Series in Japan's Sagamihara, claiming the last three golds, according to world swimming governing body FINA. In the women's 3m springboard, Shi Tingmao, winner in this event at all legs of the 2018 edition, snatched the gold in 382.05 points. Despite some mistakes, Wang Han of China also did solid dives to rank second with 378.90, while Canada's Jennifer Abel was third in 353.40. After finishing the first leg on a golden note, Shi spoke about her ambitions for the second meet of the Series. "In the next leg in Beijing I would like to have the same result as in Sagamihara", she said. The men's 10m platform final was quite fierce as many divers got high scores.
