China\'s Wu Minxia won her third synchronised three-metre springboard Olympic gold medal winning the final with He Zi on Sunday. In the first of China\'s quest for all eight diving gold medals at London, Wu and He dominated the competition with 346.20 points to claim victory. The United States pair of Abigail Johnston and Kelci Bryant took silver with 321.90 with Canada\'s Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel claiming bronze with 316.80. The Chinese pair\'s highlights were a competition-high 80.10 points for a reverse 2.5 somersault and a back 2.5 somersault. They led after all five rounds of dives and gradually extended their advantage with the Americans receiving a 74.70 for their forward 2.5 somersault with one twist. Wu, 26, can leave the London Games as the most successful Olympian in the sport along with the retired Guo Jingjing if she wins her remaining three-metre springboard event to add to her current tally of five medals. Wu won the last two synchronised gold medals with Guo in Athens and Beijing.
