Chinese divers add two more golds at FINA World Diving Series in London

Russia's Evgeny Kuznetsov broke China's dominance of the FINA/NVC World Diving Series in London by taking the men's 3m springboard final.

It was the first gold medal of the London event to go to a diver outside China.

Kuznetsov, silver medallist in the 3m synchro springboard at the London 2012 Olympic Games, produced a superb final dive, a forward four and half somersault tucked, to score 98.80 points for a final total of 519.40 points. It was enough to move him from third place after five rounds to first after six.

Germany's Patrick Hausing finished second with just 0.05 of a point behind.

Going last and doing exactly the same final dive as Kuznetsov, Olympic 10m synchro platform champion, Cao Yuan of China, needed 94.25 points to win. He managed 91.20 and had to settle for bronze with 516.35 points.

In the women's 3m springboard final, China's Shi Tingmao made it two golds in two days, adding the individual 3m springboard title to the 3m synchro springboard won, with Wu Minxia, on day one, FINA's official website said.

Shi, who has won every round of the World Series, scored 374.35 points for a comfortable win over compatriot Wang Han who took silver with 366.90 points.

Bronze went to Canada's Pamela Ware after a rarely seen dive off.

The mixed 3m synchro springboard, a new event in the Diving World Series, was won by China's Wang Han and Yang Hao with a score of 336.90 points.

The silver went to Jennifer Abel and Francois Imbeau-Dulac of Canada with 309.60 points and an unexpected bronze to the British pair of Grace Reid and James Heatly who finished with 299.76 points.

China has won six of the seven titles after two days of competition. Endi
