Suffering from an injury on her waist, Shi Tingmao proved her reputation as the Queen on the women’s 3m springboard as the two-time Olympic champion romped to take the victory and brought a one-two finish with Wang Han at the 18th FINA World Championships in Gwangju.
It was Shi’s third consecutive world title in the event, thus helping China remaining unbeaten in the 3m since 2001. Guo JIngjing swept five gold in a row and the last non-Chinese champion was Yuliya Pakhalina from Russia at the 1998 Perth Worlds.
