BEIJING, China, August 23. EIGHT proved not to be a lucky number for Chinese diving as Australia's Matthew Mitcham blocked China's gold-medal sweep with an epic finale in the men's platform competition.
Mitcham completed the last session of dives with a 537.95-point tally to knock Zhou Luxin of China into silver position. Zhou finished less than five points behind Mitcham with a total of 533.15 points. The outcome stopped China from going eight-for-eight in diving.
Russia's Gleb Galperin also beat out China's Huo Liang, 525.80 to 508.40, for bronze.
Americans David Boudia (441.45) and Thomas Finchum (412.65) took 10th and 12th, respectively.
