BEIJING - Nick McCrory notched a fourth-place finish in the men's 10-meter competition on the final day of the FINA Diving World Series leg in Beijing Saturday.

McCrory collected a score of 525.75 points in the final, missing the podium by just 6.05 points. The fourth-place performance represented a one-spot improvement from McCrory's fifth-place showing on the platform last week in Dubai.

Qiu Bo of China took the gold in the 10-meter competition with a score of 566.50 points, while Great Britain's Tom Daley claimed the silver (541.15) and fellow countryman Peter Waterfield the bronze (531.80).
