Iffland wins 3rd consecutive world women's high diving title

Australia's Rhiannan Iffland claimed her third consecutive world women's high diving title at the swimming worlds here on Wednesday, reported Xinhua.

The former cliff diver won her first gold medal in 2017 when high diving made its debut at the World Championships. She retained her title two years later in 2019 but had to wait for four years to complete the hat trick because the event was left off last year's Budapest worlds program.

The 31-year-old scored 357.40 points across four rounds of dives. Canada's Molly Carlson, this year's World Cup winner, finished second with 322.80 and her compatriot Jessica Macaulay, bronze medalist of the 2019 worlds, took third with 320.95.

A total of 20 divers competed in the event.
