TOKYO -- Chinese diver Cao Yuan claimed his first Olympic gold medal in the men's 10m platform event on Saturday, becoming the first athlete to win Olympic gold medals in three different diving events.

After the six-round final, China witnessed a one-two finish, with Cao finishing first in 582.35 points, followed by his teammate Yang Jian in 580.40 points.

Cao, who is competing in his third Olympics, now has already won Olympic medals in 10m platform (gold), synchronised 10m platform (one gold, one silver), 3m springboard (gold) and synchronised 3m springboard (bronze).

"I try not to think too much about the scores. Instead I put the focus on myself to stay calm. I make sure that the next dive that I perform has no errors, and I try not to let what other divers do to get into this," Cao answered whether he was concerned when Britain's Thomas Daley was leading the scoreboard.
