Olimpiade 2012: Hat-trick for Wu

China's Wu Minxia secured her place in Olympic history with a hat-trick of Synchronised 3m Springboard titles alongside He Zi at today's opening Diving event at the Aquatics Centre.

LONCAT INDAH INDONESIA-Wu cemented her place as one of the greatest female divers of all time as she also drew level with former synchro partner Guo Jingjing, who she teamed up with to win the past two Olympic crowns, with a record six medals at the Games.

The 26-year-old could surpass that mark next week, when she and He go head-to-head in the Individual 3m Springboard.

On Day 2 they were comfortable winners, leading after all five rounds to finish with a gap of 24.30 from nearest rivals Abigail Johnston and Kelci Bryant from USA.

Canada's Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel took bronze to ensure Heymans became the first diver to win a medal at four consecutive Olympics.

Home duo Becky Gallantree and Alicia Blagg of Great Britain had to be content with seventh place in the eight-team final as errors cost them after being fourth after two rounds.
