Diving for glory and fame (1/7)

Young divers stretch as they hang from a steel bar during a training session at a sports school in Hefei, Anhui province August 23, 2014. Eleven teenage divers - four girls and seven boys - from the country's rural areas have been training at this school for over two years to prepare themselves for a provincial competition in the coming days. The competition is considered to be their only chance to be picked by the provincial diving team and a gateway to becoming a professional athlete. Picture taken August 23, 2014. [Photo/Agencies]
