China’s Wu Minxia has splashed into the Olympic record books at Rio 2016, bypassing legends Greg Louganis of the USA and her “big sister”, compatriot Guo Jingjing, to become the first person to win five diving gold medals.

China’s Shi Tingmao collected her second gold medal of Rio 2016 on 14 August, winning the women’s 3m springboard event to add to the synchronised title she won with Wu Minxia on day two of the Games.
