Olympic champion Dimitry Sautin knocked off strong challenges from two Chinese by winning the men's 3 meter springboard while Chinese Guo Jingjing took an easy victory in the women's 1m springboard at the FINA Diving World Cup in Seville, Spain on Wednesday.

Guo, current diving diva in China since three-time Olympic champion Fu Mingxia retired after the Sydney Olympic Games, scored 312.84 points for the 1m springboard title.

Russian veteran Irina Lashko and German Heike Fischer came to silver and bronze medals, respectively.

The men's 3m synchronized springboard and women's 10m synchronized platform will be decided on Thursday while women's 3m springboard preliminary will take place.
