Chinese duo Chen Jia and Chen Yiwen engaged in a thrilling battle in the women's 3-meter springboard final at the World Aquatics Diving World Cup in Windsor, Canada, on Sunday, before Chen Jia prevailed to claim the gold medal.

She performed consistently in all five rounds, and tallied an overall score of 379.05 points, which was even higher than Chen Yiwen's winning total from last year's Paris Summer Olympics.

"My score is a little bit lower than at the Mexico leg, and I feel tired after these two consecutive stops," Chen Jia said. "So it is normal that I scored lower. I need to perfect the details and improve on the gestures."

Chen Yiwen earned 369.90 points to finish second. Maddison Keeney of Australia placed third with 336.55 points.
