Hello sports fans! The Chinese divers are making a splash at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. On Monday, the team clinched two gold medals in high-stakes events—the men’s 3-meter synchronized springboard and the women’s 10m synchronized platform.
The fresh pairing of Wang Zongyuan and Zheng Jiuyuan dazzled the crowd by scoring a commanding 467.31 points in the men’s event. Mexico’s Osmar Olvera Ibarra and Juan Manuel Celaya Hernandez took silver, while British duo Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding rounded out the podium with bronze. 🏅
Reflecting on the win, Zheng said, "Both the prelims and the final reflected the level I've shown in training. I managed to stay calm and focused. Winning here—after also taking gold in the one-meter springboard—really proves to myself that I have what it takes." For Wang, the victory marked his fourth consecutive world title in the event. He admitted, "We're a new pairing, and both of us were nervous and feeling the pressure, but each of our dives got better as the competition went on." 💪
The Chinese divers also celebrated their triumph in the women’s 10m synchronized platform event, adding to their impressive medal tally and underlining their dominance on the world stage. Their performance is a reminder that hard work, focus, and teamwork can turn nerves into gold!
