China's Quan Hongchan was dominant in winning 10m platform Olympic gold.TOKYO - Chinese teenager Quan Hongchan produced three perfect-10 dives in a dazzling display to win the Olympic women's 10m platform gold medal on Thursday.
But Quan insisted that she should not be considered a prodigy, as she does not enjoy the same success at school."I don't do well in my studies. You ask me all these questions and there's only a blank in my mind." Quan was awarded perfect-10 scores from all seven judges for her second and fourth dives. For her fifth effort, six judges gave her 10 and one 9.5, but that was still enough for a maximum mark of 96.00 points.
