The United States swim team underlined their strength in the pool Sunday at the World University Games by easily winning three out of four events. China grabbed a gold medal each in fencing, gymnastics and diving on Day Four to increase its haul of medals to 28, including eight gold. But South Korea still leads the gold medal standings with 11.
Reigning Olympic champion Zhong Man inspired China to a hard-fought victory in the men's team saber, defeating Italy 45-43 in the final.
The Chinese team, without the service of individual champion Wang Zhijing due to injury, trailed by as many as seven points in the match but Zhong helped China stage an impressive comeback to take gold.
Zhong, the gold medalist at Beijing Olympics, heaped praises on his younger teammates He Wei and Liu Xiao. "The Italians are very strong but we survived huge pressure," said Zhong. "He and Liu are key to our victory."
China's success in diving continued as Pan Zhaowei overcame a strong challenge from Mexico's Yahel Ernesto Castillo to win men's 3m springboard. So far, China has won three gold medals in as many events and is expected to take away the bulk of remaining nine gold medals.
Jiang Yuyuan of China won the gold medal on balance beam, the silver on floor exercise and the bronze on uneven bars, adding to her individual all-round title.
British veteran Beth Tweddle took titles on uneven bars and floor exercise, her two specialities, to be the only gymnast crowned twice Sunday.
