CHENGDU, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- China's Yang Ruilin claimed the women's 3m springboard title at the Chengdu Universiade here on Sunday.
Having won the women's synchronized 3m springboard already, Yang gave a solid performance in Sunday's competition and led all the way to score 364.05 points after five dives.
Yang's teammate Ouyang Yu also had a stable performance, finishing second with 332.15 points. The bronze medal went to American diver Sophia Verzyl on 316.45 points.

With the victory, China has swept all 11 diving golds on offer so far at the ongoing Chengdu Universiade. ■
