The Asian nation’s first triumph came in the girls B three metres springboard final as Yixian Liang posted a winning total of 408.60 points at the Aquatics Palace.

Having started with a forward three-and-a-half somersaults pike for 69.75 points, Liang sealed gold two rounds later with a forward two-and-a-half somersaults, one twist pike that earned her 73.50 - the best sum of the day. 

American Maria Coburn finished runner-up with 398.60 points, while Liang’s compatriot Xiaojie He rounded out the podium with 397.00.

"The Championships was not an easy stroll for me," said Liang, runner-up in the girls B one metre springboard earlier in the competition. 

"It took a lot to win gold today as my opponents were very strong. 

"I am happy with the medal, but I realise, that some of my attempts could have been even better."

China’s seventh and last gold medal of the Championships was won by Lian Junjie in the boys A platform event. 

Lian’s hugely impressive total of 593.55 points secured a comfortable victory, with home favourite Nikita Shleikher second on 573.80 and Great Britain’s Matthew Dixon third on 545.60.

Three of his five dives in the final eclipsed the 90-point mark, with his best being a 94.35 courtesy of a forward four-and-a-half somersaults with tuck on his fourth attempt.

"The 21st FINA World Junior Diving Championships turned to be a success for team China, which pleases me a lot," said Lian. 

"I liked everything here in Kazan. 

"The arena is beautiful, so it was a pleasure to compete. 

"This was my first junior worlds and I believe it is a good start for me."

China won a total of 13 medals overall.
