On the 10-person diving team, world champion Shi Tingmao and Cao Yuan will compete in more than one event, while female athletes Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi are expected to become China's first Olympic champions born after 2005.
Star players and Rio Olympic champions Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning and Yuan Xinyue lead the Chinese women's volleyball team roster, with Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia, Yan Ni, and Liu Xiaotong also included.
The 12-person women's basketball roster has also been announced, while China's men's basketball team failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in 37 years.
