Intro:
Chinese three-time Olympian Wu Minxia completed another medal-winning performance at the Aquatic Centre on Sunday night, gaining her first individual gold medal in the three-metre springboard event.
21-year-old He Zi, a rising star in Chinese springboard diving, also won gold in the synchro event alongside Wu Minxia and added a silver in the individual event - she is already hoping for greater success at the Rio games in four years' time.
Script:
'China House' welcomed two Olympic champions on Monday - diving stars Wu Minxia and He Zi.
Wu Minxia gave a remarkable performance in the Aquatic Centre on Sunday night in the women's three-metre springboard claiming the title, whilst her team-mate He Zi grabbed silver.
21-year-old He Zi's considered the natural successor to the title of Chinese 'diving queen', having already won a gold and silver medal in London.
But just wait til Rio.
SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) He Zi, gold medallist in Women's synchronised diving three-metre spring board and silver medal in individual event:
"At the next Olympics, I will try my best to give an even better performance."
The Chinese diving team have delivered five gold medals so far and remain on course for a clean sweep of all eight at the diving.
