Chen Linhai won his country's first title today after he celebrated his third trip to the podium this week.

Chen won his gold in the boys' A 1 metre springboard competition to go with the two silver medals he has already in the 3m synchronised and individual springboard events.

Finishing atop of the leaderboard in the preliminary rounds, he was just fifth after the opening set of dives in the final.

As the final wore on, Chen gradually improved, posting dives with a higher degree of difficulty.

The penultimate attempt, an inward 2.5 somersaults pike that scored 79.90 points, gave him a total of 564.65 which was enough to secure the gold medal.

Russian Nikita Shleikher claimed the silver medal on 543.65 while Matthew Carter of Australia completed the podium as he took the bronze with a total of 538.45.

"I feel very well," said Chen.

"I am satisfied with my performance.

"It was not an easy stroll, but I have succeeded and won gold.

"It goes without saying, that I have enjoyed diving in Kazan very much. 

"I liked the swimming pool, very new and light."

China then earned their second title of the day in the boy's B platform final.

Yang Ling of China led from start to finish both in the preliminary rounds and in the final.

His supremacy showed in the final as his scores never fell below 76.60 on his final attempts.

His best scoring dive, an armstand back triple somersault with tuck, earned Yang a perfect 10 and a number of 9.5s.

As a result, the Chinese totalled 527.40, almost 23 points ahead of his Mexican rival Willars Randal who claimed silver with 504.70.

Russian Ruslan Ternovoy finished third as he managed to recover after a failed dive on his third attempt to collect a total of 461.35.

Completing their dominant day, the Chinese pair got the better of the rest of the field in the 3m synchronised springboard.

First heading into the final, Lingrui Liu and Chen Huiling extended their dominance as they aimed for the gold medal.

They showed consistency and strength, tight spins and clean entries into the water throughout.

Earning 70.20 for their back 2.5 somersaults pike in the penultimate round was enough to secure gold.

Their total of 296.70 meant they were 10.20 points clear of the Australian duo of Jayah Mathews and Georgia Sheehan who took silver.

Finishing 15.22 points adrift of the Chinese pair were Russia's Ekaterina Nekrasova and Tatiana Stepanova, who placed third on 311.92.
