Chinese swimmers emerge as undisputed diving world champions
0 Comments | AFP, March, 2007
MELBOURNE (AFP) — A dominant China snatched the final two diving world titles Monday for a massive confidence booster in their hunt for all eight gold on home soil at the Beijing Olympics next year.
Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia won China its fourth consecutive 3m synchronised springboard gold medal while Lin Yue and Huo Liang took the men's synchronised 10m platform crown to give the powerhouse nation nine out of 10 gold here.
The victory made Guo the most successful diver in world championships history with eight gold and one silver.
The only title China failed to claim was the men's 10m platform where Russia's Gleb Galperin capitalised on mistakes from Zhou Luxin and Lin Yue to relegate them to second and third respectively.
