NANJING — World and Olympic champion Guo Jingjing showed her absolute
dominance in women’s springboard diving as she took her second gold in
the Nanjing 2007 world series diving tournament on Sunday.

Guo Jingjing was never challenged by her opponents in the final when she
scored more than 80 points from all her five dives. Her winning mark was
413.60 points.
Wu Minxia, who teamed up with Guo to win the 3m springboard synchro gold
on Saturday, was a distant second place at 383.10 points.
Wu also had five excellent dives in the final, but she had to lower the
degree of difficulty of her dives because of injury. That makes it
impossible for her to challenge Guo Jingjing.
The third place was taken by Yuliya Pakhalina of Russia at 332.30,
followed by Tania Cagnotto of Italy in the fourth at 291.40.
Both Pakhalina and Cagnotto were in bad form as they made fatal mistakes
in the final. Pakhalina was lucky to win the bronze medal as she only
scored one 40 minus mark while Cagnotto had two.
