Chinese diver Chen Jia claimed gold in a thrilling women's 3-meter springboard final at the World Aquatics Diving World Cup in Windsor, Canada, outscoring teammate Chen Yiwen in a tightly contested showdown. The 20-year-old wild card entrant delivered consistent performances across all five rounds, earning 379.05 points—a score surpassing Chen Yiwen’s gold-winning total at the 2023 Paris Olympics.
"I need to perfect the details," said Chen Jia, reflecting on her performance despite fatigue from back-to-back World Cup stops in Guadalajara and Windsor. Chen Yiwen secured silver with 369.90 points, while Australia’s Maddison Keeney took bronze with 336.55.
Chinese divers dominated across disciplines, with Cheng Zilong and Zhu Zifeng securing gold and silver in the men’s 10m platform, and Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie winning the women’s synchronized 10m event. The team concluded the Windsor leg with eight gold medals, cementing their status as favorites heading into May’s season-ending Super Final in Beijing.
