体坛英语新闻：World champ Qiu wins men's 10m platform synchro at National Games

SHENYANG, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- World champion Qiu Bo claimed the men's 10-meter platform synchronized title with Yang Jian at China's National Games Tuesday.

Qiu, winner of the individual 10m platform at both Barcelona and Shanghai World Championships, collected 501.60 points with Yang to win the gold for Sichuan.

Beijing veteran Lin Yue took a silver in 492.66 with Cao Yuan, while Chen Aisen/Xie Siyi brought Guangdong a bronze in 480.90.

"I am tired after the Barcelona Worlds, but today I performed to my normal level," said Qiu, runner-up of the 10m platform at the London Games last year. "We did a good 109B today, which I didn't expect."

Qiu won the individual 10m platform at Barcelona Worlds, while Lin Yue failed to reach the final.

"I have been focusing on the National Games since the Worlds," Lin said. "We only have two weeks to get prepared."

Lin will not take part in the individual platform at the National Games.
