Olympic Diving 2016: Medal Winners and Scores After Sunday's Results

China's Wu Minxia won a historic fifth Olympic gold medal on Sunday after she teamed up with Shi Tingmao to seal top spot in the final of the women's three-meter synchro springboard in Rio de Janeiro.  

Italy grabbed silver thanks to some superb diving from Tania Cagnotto and Francesca Dallape, while Australia surprised by capturing the bronze medal after Annabelle Smith and Maddison Keeney shocked even themselves with their display.

Here's the overall medal table after Sunday's final:

China came into Sunday's final as the runaway favourites to score the top prize, and they didn't disappoint after finishing more than 30 points clear of any competition in the end.

Presenter Chris McHardy highlighted Minxia's accolade as one never before achieved in the history of the Olympics:

Sunday's result reaffirms just how dominant China continue to be in diving, and indeed the synchronised trade in particular, with Minxia's reign of gold continuing once again in Brazil.

While Australia were elated with their third-place finish, it came at Canada's cost, per SportsCentre, after it looked as though they were shoo-ins to claim the bronze medal as their own:

A score of 298.32 saw them ultimately end up less than a point from the podium, and the Canadians were left to rue their mistakes displayed in some of their more average attempts.

Malaysia took fifth place, again fairly close to the podium scores, as was the British duo of Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree, who ended up in sixth with a score of 292.83, per BBC Radio Leeds:

In the end, there was a gap of less than seven points between the bronze medallists and the sixth-place finishers, although Italy and China were in leagues of their own, particularly the latter.

So impressive was Minxia, in fact, that some of the biggest names in swimming may even attempt to catch up with her in terms of pedigree, said Karen Crouse of the New York Times:

Germany and Brazil completed the leaderboard by finishing in seventh and eighth, respectively, with Brazil gifted a re-dive in their fifth-round attempt after noise distractions from the surrounding area affected their first attempt.

Athletes come and go, but two things that remain a constant are that China continue to display exemplar results in diving and superstar Minxia is arguably the best of that very talented bunch.
