Diving: Gold for China, Again

From the Associated Press:

He Chong has easily won the gold medal on men's 3-meter springboard, making China 6-for-6 in Olympic diving -- two events away from matching swimmer Michael Phelps' golden haul.

He earned 11 perfect marks of 10.0 in the six-round final Tuesday night, totaling 572.90 points and giving China its fourth consecutive Olympic title in the event.

Alexandre Despatie of Canada took the silver for the second consecutive Olympics with 536.65.

He's teammate Qin Kai earned the bronze with 530.10.

American Troy Dumais was sixth for the third straight Olympics. Teammate Chris Colwill was 12th and last.
