"I love to compete with Quan. The contest between us always gives me motivation to progress and to fight for a higher goal," said Chen. "After three world cup tournaments and World Championships this season, I found my performance more stable with better mentality."

His lead was so great by round five that he would have placed second even without his final dive. In the end, Wang scored 540.60 points to claim the title.

"I had better dives in the finals than the preliminaries. I did a good job although my fourth dive was imperfect," said Wang.
