Evergreen diving star Li Shixin has won a silver medal at the world aquatics championships in the 1-metre springboard, his best performance yet in Australian colours at the grand old age of 35.
The much-decorated figure who first won a world gold in the same event for China in Shanghai 14 years ago has now landed a third global medal for his adopted country by finishing second in Saturday's final in Doha.
Twenty-four hours after he had taken bronze as part of the Aussie quartet in the mixed team event, Li put on a brilliant show which was only bettered by the gifted Mexican teenager Osmar Olvera, who proved in a class of his own for the gold.
