He Zi completes golden double in FINA GP
Adjust font size:

Though He Zi claimed her second title at the 15th FINA Diving Grand Prix on Sunday by winning the women's three-meter springboard, she was not 100 percent satisfied with her dives.

He, who took the synchronized victory on Feb. 13, met no challenges in the final and finished with 386.55 points, 30.15 ahead of fellow Wang Han in 356.40.

Jimie Elizabeth of Malaysia won the bronze in 286.50.

The 19-year-old He said: "Today's victory is just a reward of my hard work for the last two months. But I think I can dive better. I gave myself 75 points out of 100."

He, 1m springboard winner in 2007 Melbourne World Championships, said she never thought about to defend the title or to compete in a spot within China's team against four-time Olympic champion Guo Jingjing and veteran Wu Minxia.

He said: "What I care about is to do my best every day. I will take the chance if I earn it."

The three-day Grand Prix in Shenzhen had three golden double winners as He, Chen Ruolin on the women's platform and Zhang Xinhua on the men's springboard.

Chinese divers swept all the eight gold medals of the competition which started on Feb. 13.

The next leg of the Grand Prix will be held in Rostock, Germay from Feb. 27 to March 1.
