On his victory, Villarreal said: "It is the first step of something big in my career. I feel that I competed with intelligence, despite the pressure in the beginning. I missed one dive but did not let it go. I learned that I should never be too confident because there are very strong competitors such as the Russian and Ukrainian."
Dolores Hernandez (MEX) looked happy with her gold: "It is a challenge for me to go to Nanjing. It would be a stepping stone on the road to Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, I will do all I can to get those Olympic spots".
China's Shenping Wu (CHN), who represents the country's next generation of divers, said: "We have all trained hard to prepare the qualifying event in Guadalajara.

On the atmosphere, Leydon-Mohaney Gracia (USA) said: "I enjoyed the competition. The Mexican public was very supportive to all divers. I am impressed with the level of competition".
Alexandr Belevtcev (RUS), said : "I liked the pool, Mexico is a beautiful country and I want to return for the 2017 FINA World Championships in Guadalajara. I have to train hard to get a gold medal. I have to try harder, practice more and throw more dives."
