Elsewhere, 15 year old Tom Daley became the youngest diver to win a world title in men's 10m platform. The Briton went with a less difficult dive than nearly everyone else in the final round.
He performed the reverse 3-somersault with a tuck to perfection - his body whirling like the wheels of a Ferrari before he popped out at just the right time, looking as though he had disappeared without touching the surface. He emerged with a big smile, and was really grinning when he saw the scores: Three perfect 10s, the rest 9.5s.
Chinese divers Qiu Bo and Zhou luxin finished second and third.
