DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Chang Yani topped teammate Chen Yiwen on the 3-meter springboard Friday, giving the powerhouse Chinese team its eighth diving gold medal of the World Aquatics Championships.
Beginning with their emergence in 1984, the Chinese have won 47 of 72 diving gold medals.
Since the Olympic program doubled from four to eight events in 2000, they have been even more dominant — 38 gold medals in 48 events.
One thing the Chinese haven't done is take the top spot in all eight diving events at a single Olympics.
The final two diving events will be held Saturday at the Hamad Aquatic Centre.
