China finished the FINA Diving World Cup with a clean sweep of all 11 gold medals after Olympic champions Chen Aisen and the synchro pair of Shi Tingmao and Chang Yani brought home the host nation's final two victories here on Sunday.
Chen, who led after the first four dives despite making a mistake on his 207B dive, stayed cool on his final two to lift his first individual World Cup title in the men's 10m platform final with 557.80 points.
Yang Jian, the 2014 World Cup winner, failed to strike gold on his birthday, as he trailed Chen before scoring 102.60 on his fifth 207B dive, becoming the new leader with a 0.45-point advantage.
