KAZAN, Russia, Aug 2 - Qiu Bo equalled the great Greg Louganis’s feat of three world titles on Sunday as China finished with 10 medals to underline their domination of the diving competition at the world championships.
With 13 titles on offer this year due to an extended programme, China failed to match their clean sweep of 10 medals at the 2011 championships in Shanghai. But China’s nine world medals in Barcelona was bettered when Qiu won 10 metres platform gold ahead of American David Boudia who finished behind his arch-rival for the third world championships in a row.
