The diving competition of the 17th FINA World Championships concluded with Tom Daley's sensational win in the men's 10m platform on Saturday as powerhouse China bagged eight out of the 13 gold medals on offer.
The 2009 world champion Daley led the final since the first round, but met a strong challenge from China's Olympic champion Chen Aisen.
However, Daley, the golden boy of British diving and something of a celebrity in his homeland, kept aggressive and calm, winning with a total score of 590.95 points. Chen took silver, only 5.7 points behind, while China's Yang Jian was third with 565.15 points.
