Quan Hongchan Wins Second Gold in Paris, Extends China's Diving Dominance

Quan Hongchan, the 17-year-old diving prodigy from China, has continued her dominance in the sport by securing her second gold medal at the Paris Olympics. This victory marks her third Olympic gold and maintains China's unblemished record in diving at the Games.

In the women's 10m platform event, Quan showcased her exceptional skills, amassing a winning total of 425.60 points. Her teammate, Chen Yuxi, finished closely behind with 420.70 points, securing the silver medal. North Korea's Kim Mi Rae claimed the bronze with a score of 372.10.

Quan's triumph in Paris adds to her impressive resume, which includes a gold medal in the 10m platform at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and a gold in the women's synchronized 10m platform in Paris with Chen.

China's dominance in diving remains unchallenged, as they have swept all five gold medals awarded in the sport so far at the Paris Olympics. With three more golds still up for grabs, China is poised to extend its reign at the top of the diving world.

In Tokyo, China's divers showcased their superiority by winning all but one of the eight titles, with Britain claiming the remaining gold.

Quan Hongchan's remarkable achievements at such a young age have solidified her status as one of the greatest divers of all time. Her exceptional talent and unwavering determination have made her a role model for aspiring athletes worldwide.
