BUDAPEST: Olympic champion Shi Tingmao earned China´s eighth diving gold of the world aquatic championships on Friday with victory in the women´s 3m springboard final, just ahead of team-mate Wang Han.hi led for all five rounds and sealed victory with 383 pts, finishing 24 ahead of Wang, who held second spot throughout, while Canada´s Jennifer Abel took bronze with 351.55 pts.

The 25-year-old Shi now has the world crown to add to her Olympic golds she earned last year after also winning the 3m synchro springboard in Rio de Janeiro.

Shi´s win means Chinese divers have won eight of the 11 events so far with only the men´s 10m platform and 3m mixed springboard to come on Saturday.
