Another great day for Aussie sport a Russian tart wins a gold and shes now a Aussie , I've heard it all before.

RUSSIAN-BORN Irina Lashko won Australia's first diving gold medal today with victory on the one metre springboard at the World Swimming Championships in Barcelona.

Lashko, at 30 the oldest diver in the competition, burst into tears after unleashing a spectacular last dive to take gold in a dramatic day of diving.

"It is just like a little piece of magic dropped out of the sky and hit me on the head," the Melbourne-based diver said.

"It's an honour that I have won Australia's first gold medal. It is my home and I am very proud."

Her victory is the biggest result in Australian diving since Dick Eve won the plain high dive competition at the 1924 Paris Olympics.

True the Aussies know how to bring in winners.

They also know how to bring in work shy lazy gits. And they got the world champion when they got you.
