QIU Bo won the men's 10-meter platform title, helping China complete a gold medal sweep for the first time in diving at the world championships.
Qiu totaled 585.45 points in the six-dive final today to win China's 10th gold and 14th medal overall at the outdoor pool. Qiu finished second two years ago in Rome.
American David Boudia earned the silver with 544.25, the only medal won by the United States in Shanghai. Sascha Klein of Germany took the bronze at 534.50.
Defending champion Tom Daley of Britain finished fifth. Boudia's teammate, Nick McCrory, was sixth.
Qiu received three 10s on his second dive and three more on his third. His Chinese teammate, Zhou Luxin, ended any chance of a one-two finish for the hosts when he badly botched his fifth dive.
Zhou received all 3.5s after a bad landing in which his lower legs smacked the water. He finished 10th of 12 divers in the final.
