Four straight titles for oldest champion
Chinese diver Wu Minxia cemented her name in Olympic history on Sunday, becoming the sport's most decorated female when she partnered with Shi Tingmao on five flawless dives to win gold in the synchronized 3-meter springboard competition.
After the tandem scored 345.6 points in the final, Wu became the first woman to win gold at four consecutive Games and, at 30 years and 271 days, the oldest female to win an Olympic diving gold medal.
