Lin Shan beat teammate and defending champion Li Yajie to win the women's one-meter springboard diving and China's second diving gold from as many events at the World Aquatics Championships here on Saturday.

The 21-year-old Lin, who won back-to-back mixed 3m synchronized springboard at the last two world championships, totaled 318.60 points for the gold, followed by Li with 306.35.

It was China's second title after teenagers Zhang Jiaqi and Wang Feilong claimed the mixed synchronized 10m platform earlier.

Mexico's Aranza Vazquez Montano took bronze with 285.05.
