Just a little update on the women's overall standings. If things were to stay the same as they are now after Saturday's final rounds, Iffland would win the title by 10 points from Merten. So don't rule out the reigning champion yet. She knows there are no heroics needed here, just to keep her dives solid and she'll be crowned champion once again. Merten will hope to keep the lead and that Rhiannan drops at least a place after the next two rounds. What an exciting final we have in store on Saturday.

On Friday the women completed their first two rounds here at Lago Ranco, and it's Helena Merten who leads at the half way stage, with defending champion Rhiannan Iffland in third. Adriana Jimenez is in fourth, and all three could still take home the King Kahekili trophy today. The men's first rounds were postponed due to severe conditions, and they'll need to complete all four rounds today. Gary Hunt, Jonathan Paredes and Blake Aldridge all still have their eyes on the title.

The men are not hanging around here, the dives are coming thick and fast as they try to squeeze their first two rounds into the busy schedule. Americans Kyle Mitrione, Steven LoBue and Andy Jones have all completed their dives, but none of them score above 7 and Fedotov still comfortably leads the way.

We're already half way through the men's second round now, as they power through the dives that were postponed on Friday. Paredes is into the lead after an immaculate Forward 3 Somersaults 1 1/2 Twists which scored him three nines. Hunt could only take 7.5s for his second dive and currently sits in second place.

De Rose bumps Hunt down to third place with a superb dive that earns the Italian 8.5, 8.5, 9 from the judges and moves into second behind Paredes. Blake Aldridge can only score sixes though and that could well mean the end of his title challenge this season.
