China blitzed to win all the four titles on offer on the first day of the FINA Diving World Series here Friday, while Russian veteran Dmitry Sautin stole the limelight by claiming a bronze medal in the men's three-meter springboard.
China's Huo Liang and Lin Yue compete during the men's 10m platform synchronised final at the second leg of four-stop FINA Diving World Series in Changzhou, a city of east China's Jiangsu Province, on March 27, 2009. Huo and Lin claimed the title with a score of 484.92 points.
Aged at 35, Sautin was the long-time role model for many young divers all over the world. He said he felt tired after the first leg of the World Series in Doha, Qatar last week and he was glad to win a bronze medal in Changzhou. World and Olympic champion Qin Kai and Zhang Xinhua made a 1-2 Chinese finish in the men's three-meter springboard, and Patrick Hausding of Germany finished fourth.
China's Wang Han and He Zi compete during the women's 3m synchro springboard final at the second leg of four-stop FINA Diving World Series in Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, on March 27, 2009. Wang Han and He Zi claimed the title of the event with a score of 331.20 points.
Sautin, who has won eight Olympic medals in his career, said: "I'm really surprised I can perform like this today. The World Series was my first competition after Beijing Olympic Games in seven months. Last week I didn't enter the final in Doha and now I come back." Chen Ruolin, winner of the women's 10m platform at the Beijing Games, dominated the tower by finishing 444.05 ahead of Chinese teammate Kang Li in 421.70.
