Wu cruises into final

WU Mingxia of China cruised into the 3-meter springboard final after qualifying in the top spot during the semifinals.

Wu totaled 394.400 points in the five-round semis yesterday, giving her a lead of 32.30 points over second-place Tania Cagnotto of Italy, who had 362.100 points. The four-time Olympian is still seeking her first medal.

Wu is chasing her record-tying sixth Olympic medal. She already owns three gold medals in 3-meter synchro, as well as one silver and one bronze. Wu's synchro partner, He Zi, was third at 354.500. The final is today.

China is halfway towards winning all eight diving golds after wins by Qin Kai and Luo Yutong (men's 3m synchro), Chen Ruolin and Wang Hao (women's 10m synchro), Cao Yuan and Zhang Yanquan (men's 10m synchro) and Wu He's 3m synchro.
