The only perfect 10.0 score in the final went to Anna Lindberg of Sweden, who received it on her final dive, lifting her into fourth.

"You could tell that they (the judges) wanted to make her third, so I decided not to let them have their fun and take things into my own hands," said Pakhalina, who received mostly 9.0s on her last dive.

Pakhalina said she heard other divers complaining about the judging.

"I don't really know, but everyone's saying that they were holding me down," she said. "We're talking about a dive that takes seconds; anything can happen. Someone wins, someone comes third."

American Allison Brennan was never in contention and finished last among six divers.

Also at Albert Park, the U.S. women's water-polo team defeated Greece 8-6 to finish group play with a 3-0 record. Erika Lorenz scored two goals and goalkeeper Elizabeth Armstrong made eight saves for the Americans.

Russia continued its domination in synchronized swimming when Anastasia Davydova and Anastasia Ermakova won the duet free. It was Russia's fifth gold in six events.

Davydova and Ermakova finished with 99.333 points, well ahead of the Spanish team of Gemma Civil Mengual and Paola Sanchez Tirados, who had 97.667. Japan's Ayako Matsumura and Emiko Suzuki took the bronze.

The two Russians also won the duet technical on Tuesday, with Spain and Japan also second and third. Synchronized swimming ends Saturday, with the team free in which Russia is again heavily favored.
