HANGZHOU, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- China completed a clean sweep of 10 gold medals in Diving at Hangzhou Asian Games on Wednesday.

With four days to go before the Games close, China has extended its medal tally to 316, including 171 gold, followed by Japan with 37 golds and the Republic of Korea with 33.

China's world champion Chen Yiwen triumphed in the Women's 3m Springboard with 382.00 points, beating her compatriot Chang Yani into second place in 350.25. Japan's Sayaka Mikami came third in 304.65. Chen and Chang also won the Synchro 3m Springboard in Hangzhou on October 1.

Asked about her future plans, Chen said, "We have two Olympic qualifiers in November and December, so my main focus is on these two qualifiers. I want to compete for two gold medals for China, for myself and for the team, but I hope I can do it more perfectly than this time."

China also finished 1-2 in the Men's 10m Platform, the final event of Diving competition. Yang Hao, bronze medalist of the event at the Fukuoka worlds, claimed the gold with six solid dives. Bai Yuming took silver and Japan's Rikuto Tamai had bronze.

Since their Asian Games debut in 1974, Chinese divers have never let a single title slip away.

Qieyang Shijie spearheaded China to the 35km Race Walk Mixed Team title, the only gold won by the host nation in Athletics on Wednesday.

For the 32-year-old race walker, the day was made more special when she received an Olympic gold medal that should have been awarded to her 11 years ago.

Qieyang was reallocated the gold for the Women's 20km Race Walk event of the London 2012 Olympics, after the original top two finishers were stripped of their medals for doping.

The fifth-placed finisher in that race was also disqualified for doping, so China's Liu Hong and Lyu Xiuzhi, originally ranked fourth and sixth in London 2012, were given the silver and bronze accordingly.

At the same ceremony, Chinese sprinters Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang also received the Men's 4×100m Relay bronze from the Tokyo Olympics, as Britain's relay team was stripped of the Olympic medal due to Chijindu Ujah's doping offense.

At Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium, India's javelin king Neeraj Chopra produced a brilliant throw of 88.88 meters to strike gold, and his teammate Kishore Kumar Jena took silver with 87.54.

"It feels great when we push each other to go farther and farther," said Chopra.

In the Men's High Jump, Qatar's Olympic champion Mutaz Barshim won the gold after clearing 2.35m. Republic of Korea's Woo Sanghyeok grabbed silver with a 2.33m leap, while Tomohiro Shinno of Japan cleared 2.29m for a bronze.

Uzbekistan's Sharifa Davronova won the Women's Triple Jump with a leap of 14.09m, followed by China's Zeng Rui with 13.92 and Japan's Mariko Morimoto with 13.78.

Elsewhere, China beat the Republic of Korea in straight sets to reach the Women's Volleyball semifinals, but its Men's Basketball team suffered a shock exit from the Asiad following a 77-76 defeat by the Philippines in the semifinals.
