Rio de Janeiro , Dhu-AlQa'dah 17, 1437, August 20, 2016, SPA -- China won the sixth of the six diving events in Rio de Janeiro Saturday when Chen Aisen earned gold on the 10-metre platform, dpa reported. With 2.5 backflips and 2.5 twists in his sixth and last dive, he earned the top score of 108.00 of the final, for a total of 585.30 points. Mexico's German Sanchez won the silver with 532.70 points. US diver David Boudia was unable to repeat his 2012 London gold, but he took home the bronze medal with 525.70 points. British world and European champion Tom Daley dropped out with the lowest score among the contenders in the semi-final, even though he had topped the score in the preliminary. "I'm kind of in shock right now because I know that I could win that gold medal, and I think right now I'm the only one that could challenge the Chinese for that gold medal," Said Daley, who has bronze from the synchronized event in Rio. --SPA 00:44 LOCAL TIME 21:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
