BARCELONA, Spain -- Canadian divers Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion won a silver medal in the womens 10-metre synchronized event at the FINA world championships Monday. The Olympic bronze medallists finished with 331.41 points. Chinas Chen Ruolin and Liu Huixia won the gold, building an unassailable points total of 356.38 by executing five nearly flawless dives. The silver was a career-best international result for Benfeito and Filion. "It feels great to get that medal," said Filion. "Weve overcome a lot of challenges over the years and to have back-to-back international successes is very rewarding." Chens fourth straight world title in this event added to her four Olympic gold medals. Malaysias Pandelela Rinong and Mun Yee Leong were 0.27 points behind Montreals Benfeito and Laval, Que., native Filion to claim bronze. The Chinese were first through all five rounds while Filion and Benfeito appeared on track for third. But their final twisting dive earned them 81.60 points which tied them with the Chinese for the best dive of that round to overtake the Malaysians. "After our third dive was a bit subpar we just told each other to dive like we do in practice," said Benfeito. "The last two have been big point getters for us this year so we knew we could stay in the medal mix." Filion and Benfeitos bronze in London was their first big international success since placing third at the 2005 world championships in Montreal when they were teenagers. They were fourth at the 2007 and 2009 worlds and seventh in 2011. "We are like sisters," said Filion. "We know each other really well and work well together. Weve gone through many challenges in our career and gained some valuable experience. It has allowed us to be consistent at this level for a long time." It is Canadas second diving medal of the competition and third overall. On Saturday, Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que., and Pamela Ware of Beloeil, Que., took bronze on womens three-metre synchro. China won two golds Monday with Li Shixin also retaining his mens one-metre springboard title. The victories re-established Chinas dominance after Germany had snatched a diving gold the Asian country was also expected to retain on Sunday. "Our coach has been telling us that once we step down from the podium you start from zero," Chen said. "Thats the attitude I have carried forward to help me win so many gold medals." Chen and Liu never looked back after executing a polished backward pike to take an early lead. They nailed a forward pike with 3 1/2 somersaults for a finals-high 82.80 points to almost clinch the title with two dives left. Chen has won her four world titles with different partners each time. She has had so many different diving mates that when asked to describe them she needed help to remember all their names. She said her latest partner "is very young but very adaptable, so I find it very easy to work with her." Chen won her first world title five years ago when she was just 15, the same age that Liu is now. "I dont have as much experience as the other divers here," said Liu, who is a champion on her world debut. "But I have learned a lot from Chen Ruolin." China has won gold in three of four diving events so far at Montjuic Municipal pool, with its picturesque views of the Catalan capital. Earlier, Li scored 460.95 points from six dives after rallying from a poor start to give the worlds pre-eminent diving power its fourth straight -- and seventh of the past eight -- world title in the mens 1-metre springboard. "The competitors were so strong. That I can win this again, I am just so lucky," Li said. "When I was young my coach gave me a video about the Olympic Games in 1992. I remember I have a dream I can stand in this pool. "So today my dream came true and I won the championship. I feel this pool is amazing. Actually, Spain is very lucky for me. Since 2005, I have been here seven times. Its like here is a second home town. In China, somebody called me King of Spain." Four-time European champion Illya Kvasha of Ukraine took silver with 434.30 points, while Alejandro Chavez of Mexico earned bronze with 431.55. The final was billed to be a battle between Li and Matthieu Rosset of France, who finished 0.5 points behind the Chinese diver in the preliminaries on Saturday. Rosset entered the fifth round in the lead but blew his entry, allowing Li to take command by completing a difficult inward pike with 2 1/2 somersaults for a single-dive highest score of 86.70. But with Kvasha pushing, Li still had to execute a tough forward pike with 3 1/2 somersaults on the last dive to ensure he won. "My coach told me that I need to control myself," Li said. "I knew that in the last rounds I have the confidence that I can overcome everything." Rosset, who was aiming for Frances first diving medal at the worlds, finished in sixth place. On Saturday, Wu Minxia and Shi Tingmao won the womens three-metre synchronized springboard. The next day, Chinas run of three consecutive world titles in the mens synchronized 10-metre platform was broken by German pair Sascha Klein and Patrick Hausding.

MADISON, Wis. -- One start into his college career, Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook has shown he can handle big-game pressure.Hornibrook stood firm in the pocket and made third-down completions into tight coverage in the eighth-ranked Badgers win over Michigan State.The stakes are only going to get higher this weekend at No. 4 Michigan.Its really just confidence, being able to know that you can make those passes, receiver Robert Wheelwright said about Hornibrooks third-down throws.Hornibrooks poise and accuracy have stood out, especially for a redshirt freshman. Coach Paul Chryst, known as a quarterback guru and a stickler for preparation, also likes how Hornibrook gets ready for games.That takes time and theres a lot that goes into it, Chryst said. Its never-ending.All that work has paid off so far for Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten). A consistent passing game can make defenses think twice about stacking the box to stop lead running back Corey Clement.Hornibrook was 16 of 26 for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 30-6 win over the Spartans. The offense was 7 of 16 on third downs.Some of those conversions didnt look easy.On the first touchdown drive, Hornibrook found receiver Jazz Peavy for a 25-yard gain on third-and-10 from the Badgers 35. He hit well-covered tight end Troy Fumagalli to convert a third-and-2 later in the drive.I saw him throw one to Fumagalli, its a tight window, and it was like, `Dang, I see you, Wheelwright recounted on Tuesday about Horrnibrooks impressive throw.ddddddddddddhree plays later, Hornibrook found Wheelwright for a 9-yard gain on third down to get to the Michigan State 3. The Badgers then converted the second of two successful fourth-down tries on the drive to set up a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Eric Steffes.He put them in a perfect spot, Peavy said. It feels just like practice most of the time when they look that easy like that. I wouldnt say theyre tough at all.It could go smoother if Wisconsin could get into shorter third-down situations. Its a crucial goal on the road on Saturday against the Wolverines, who are holding opponents to just 12 percent on third-down conversions.But if its a third-and-long, Wisconsin has shown that it can convert, too. Now that Hornibrook has proven that he can make those critical throws under pressure, receivers know they might have a little more leeway if their timing is a bit off.Just knowing sometimes you might not always get your depth, or you might not always be exactly where you need to be, but if you have good timing and good chemistry, you can still find those holes, Wheelwright said. Just knowing that you can be off a little bit and still make a pass.---AP freelance writer Dennis Semrau contributed to this story.---Online:AP College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
