Quan Hongchan made a splashy return as Guangdong snagged the first diving gold medal at China’s 15th National Games in the women’s team event. 🎉
The excitement kicked off on the synchronized 3-meter springboard, where Olympic champion Chen Yiwen and world champion Lin Shan teamed up to secure victory with 225.63 points. Their teammates Mei Yingxin and Ou Yangyu also impressed, claiming a strong third place. 🤿
On the 10-meter platform, Sichuan’s world champion Lu Wei uncharacteristically faltered, opening the door for Guangdong’s Wang Weiying to clinch her second gold of the day with 372.70 points. 🎯
In the individual 3-meter springboard, Chen Yiwen topped the board again with 373.05 points, edging out Lin Shan by just three points. It was a day of dominant performances and tight finishes for the powerhouse squad. 🥇
With the energy high and star divers back in action, Guangdong looks set to ride this wave of momentum as the National Games continue. 🌊✨
