Chinese divers reinforced their global supremacy in aquatic sports by securing two gold medals at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore on Sunday, triumphing in both the mixed synchronized 10-meter platform and men's 1-meter springboard finals.
Nail-Biting Victory in Synchronized Event
Newcomer duo Zhu Yongxin and Xie Peiling delivered a dramatic performance in their international debut, overcoming early jitters to claim gold with 298.86 points. Their victory margin of 0.06 points over Choe Wi Hyon and Jo Jin Mi of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) marked one of the closest finishes in championship history. Neutral athletes Aleksandr Bondar and Anna Konanykhina took bronze.
"This wasn't an easy win. It was a tough battle, and in the end, we won by just a tiny margin," Zhu told reporters. "I felt nervous about how close it was, but I'm glad we secured victory for our team."
Consistent Excellence in Springboard
China maintained its winning momentum in the men's 1-meter springboard final, though specific athlete names were not disclosed in preliminary reports. The results further cement China's position as the leading force in competitive diving, with the team having now claimed multiple golds across events this championship.
