Osmar Olvera Ibarra gave Mexico its second diving gold medal in the history of the World Aquatics Championships, winning the men's 1-meter springboard on Saturday. Olvera became the first diver from a country other than China to claim the top spot in the event since Alexandre Despatie of Canada in 2005. Paolo Espinosa is the only other Mexican diving world champion, capturing gold on the 10-meter platform at Rome in 2009.

Sharon van Rouwendaal of the Netherlands reclaimed the women's open water world title Saturday, beating Maria de Valdes of Spain with a furious sprint to the finish in the women's 10-kilometer race. Van Rouwendaal touched first at the World Aquatics Championships in 1 hour, 57 minutes, 26.80 seconds — a mere 10th of a second ahead of de Valdes. The bronze went to Angelica Andre of Portugal, who was 1.4 seconds behind the winner.
