China sweeps all 13 diving golds at FINA World Championships

"So many Chinese fans came here today. For such a long time we didn't dive in front of so many people; we should get used to that," said Hao, who has already secured a gold for China at the tournament in the 10m synchronized, pairing with Lian Junjie.

The 24-year-old also won a silver in the 10m individual three years ago at the worlds in Gwangju, South Korea.

Earlier in the afternoon, Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani cruised to the title in the women's 3m springboard synchronized.

The pair collected a total of 343.14 points from five dives to clinch the second medal for each of them. Chen was crowned in the 3m springboard individual event on Saturday while Chang finished with a bronze.

Sayaka Mikami and Rin Kaneto of Japan scored 303.00 points to take the silver, 8.88 ahead of the Australian pair of Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith.

"It's a great honor for me to win the worlds title in the synchronized event again," said Chang, who claimed her first worlds title also in Budapest and in this event five years ago with multiple Olympic champion Shi Tingmao.

"We saw many fans here today, we really appreciate their support and we were so proud of ourselves," Chen said.
