Diver dazzling
Dazzling Gao Min added the Olympic springboard gold medal to her 1986 world title yesterday, underlining China’s everincreasing dominance in the diving pool. Another Chinese diver, Li Qing, emerged with the silver from a battle royal against two Soviet divers and the American Kelly McCormick. McCormick, the silver medallist in Los Angeles
four years ago, claimed the bronze after finishing just 1.14 points behind Li. Gao took the lead from Li on the sixth dive. The 18-year-old proceeded to show she was a class apart from the other 11 finalists, and her smile got wider as the applause and points mounted. Her penultimate effort, an inward 222y 2 somersaults, earned her 9.5 points from two judges
