At the age of 19, Chinas Chen Ruolin picked up her fourth career Olympic gold medal on Thursday, defending her title in the womens 10-metre platform, while Australias Brittany Broben finished second and Pandelela Rinong Pamg of Malaysia captured bronze. Reggie Wayne Womens Jersey . Hopes were high for Canadian Meaghan Benfeito of Montreal in the event, after she placed second in the morning semi-final. But the scores are reset to zero at the start of each round, and the 23-year-old crashed out with her very first dive. She severely over-shot her landing and received marks of just 5.5 out of 10 from the judges. "That one dive will probably haunt me forever," Benfeito said. "Beijing (2008) was about the experience, London was more about the performance." Benfeito was able to rebound in the remaining rounds - on her very next dive, she scored 8.0s and an 8.5 - but she was already too far behind to catch up. By the end of her dive list, she had amassed a total of just 345.15 points to finish 10th. Her lowest overall score of the three-stage competition, it was also the only one that counted. "Im very pleased that I continued to fight after my first dive," she said. "My third dive is my most difficult dive, Im really proud to have executed it well." Roseline Filion, who won Olympic bronze with Benfeito in the synchronized event just over a week ago, finished close behind in 11th. The 25-year-old was steady throughout her five dives but was unable to achieve the big scores of the top contenders. "Im very relaxed," Chen said on Thursday, moments after she won her second gold of these Games. Just over a week ago, she also finished first in the synchronized platform event with diving partner Wang Hao . "Its like its not the Olympic Games. I feel no high pressure, Im relaxed. I feel very pleased to have another gold medal for China." The diving medal was Chinas sixth of the Games, with just one event left to go: the mens individual 10-metre platform. A Chinese diver, Qiu Bo, is the favourite to win gold in that event, as well. China has failed to place first in just one diving event at these Games so far. In the mens 3m springboard, Ilya Zakharov outscored Chinas Qin Kai for gold. Chen, the 2011 world champion and 2012 World Cup champion in the event, entered Thursdays final as the heavy favourite. She dominated both the preliminary and semi-final rounds of the competition, and from her first dive on Thursday evening, it was clear that she was on form. Chen received straight scores of 9.5 for her forward 3.5 somersault, receiving a total of 85.50 points for the single dive. Only one other diver would come close to defeating that score - which was not even Chens highest of the womens 10m final; compatriot Hu Yudan, 16, scored 89.10 and 86.40 for her last two dives, but was foiled by early misses and finished ninth. Chens only sub-80 score on the night came from her fourth dive, a back 3.5 somersault. She got off to a rough start on the dive and had to rescue it, mid-air. Despite the mistake, she still pulled off a strong entry and received scores of eights for a 79.20 total. She outscored her closest competitor by over 55 points with a final score of 422.30, but the battle for the silver and bronze medal positions was more heated. Headed into the final dive, Broben led Pamg by just over two points. But competing at her first Olympic Games at the age of 16, the Aussie held up under the pressure to perform a strong back 2.5 somersault with 1.5 twists. The dive earned Broben of her highest scores of the night, and her 366.50 total score was good enough to capture silver by more than seven points. Pamg settled bronze with a score of 359.20. "I just wanted to do it," Broben said, "I really, really wanted to do it. I almost fell off the platform because my legs were so shaky, but I tired to disguise it a little. I saw my coachs face and Ive dreamt about that moment, seeing his face after my dive. It just happened and I cant believe it." Jerrell Freeman Jersey . Price beat Texas for the first time in his career and the Tampa Bay Rays won 5-2 on Sunday night, becoming the first team to take a series from the Rangers this year. Coby Fleener Jersey . Against Utah, with four or five players taking turns guarding Bryant, nothing came easy as the Jazz pulled off a 95-86 victory to drop the Lakers to 1-4.
