Oct.17 - Chinese divers continued
their domination at the Military World Games after Yang Yuting snatched China
the second diving gold by winning women's 3m springboard in Hyderabad on
Tuesday.
The 21-year-old collected 297.00 points to win the gold, beating Bazhina
Nadezhad of Russia to the second place in 293 points.
"Before the competitions, I did not think she can win the gold, because
she was not the best one among the divers, " said coach Zeng Wei, who guided
Yang to win her first Asian championship last year.
Taking a gold in the international field gave some confidence to Yang,
who already put eyes on the Beijing Olympic Games, saying, "I hope I could do
better in the future, and get the chance to participate in the Olympic Games."
Lt O Kim of DPR Korea took the bronze medal in 282 points.
Yang's teammate Lou Xia finished the seventh after failing in the fourth
jump.
"Actually, Lou was full of potential. I think after participating more
competitions, she would become more stable," said Zeng.
Yang's teammate Li Shixin claimed the men's 1 meter springboard title on
Monday.
