"I felt a little bit nervous which made my entries not as clean as what I usually do during the training," Zhang said.

"I am happy with the victory though as it is my first world title. 

"I hope I can do better in the upcoming Asian Games [in Jakarta Palembang] and hopefully I can qualify for the Olympic Games."

Action is due to continue tomorrow with men's 3m springboard and women's 10m synchronised platform events.
