Beijing: Chinese diver Wang Xin celebrated her 16th birthday with an Olympic gold medal in the women's synchronised 10m platform competition on Tuesday as China claimed their third straight win in the diving pool.
Having picked up a perfect 10 score from the nine judges for both their first and second dives - the only two full-mark scores awarded in the competition - the Chinese were never threatened.
The Chinese claimed the gold with 363.54 points, Australia's Cole and Wu took silver with 335.16 and Mexico's Paola Espinosa and Tatiana Ortiz grabbed bronze with 330.06.
Along with her 15-year-old partner Chen Roulin, Wang turned 16 on Monday and picked up China's third straight gold after victories in the men's synchronised 10m platform and the women's 3m synchronised springboard.
