-- World champion Wu Minxia clinched her third diving gold
Tuesday as she won the women's 3m springboard title at the
22nd World University Games.
The 19-year-old Wu, leading the field into the final,
carried her consistency all through the competition as she
scored 604.11 points to triumph.
Whereas her more famous teammate Guo Jingjing, a double
world champion, had to settle for the silver on 571.17. And
German DitteKotzian, finishing third in the synchronized 3m
event at the worlds, took bronze with 513.72.
Wu was delighted by her second victory here following
her 1m springboard win over Guo and their synchronized 3m
triumph Sunday.
"I am happy with my third gold here and I think I did
well in the competition," said Wu, who finished third in the
3m event at the Barcelona World Championships while Guo won
the title.
The Chinese duo also grabbed a synchronized 3m
springboard victory at the worlds.
"She brought her potential to a full display today,"
said a Chinese diving team coach Liu Henglin. "So she
performed well and won."
