Australia's diving ace Cassiel Rousseau made waves at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore this weekend. With a final dive scoring an impressive 99.90 points, he racked up a total of 534.80 to clinch his second world title. As Rousseau put it, "If you're not first, you're last." Talk about winning in style! 🌟
Rousseau also shone in the mixed 3-meter synchronized event, where he and partner Maddison Keeney secured a silver medal. Their efforts helped Australia close the diving competition with two golds and one silver, finishing second on the medal table.
In a historic twist, competitors from China faced a tough break. Zhu Zifeng narrowly missed the podium by finishing fourth, while 14-year-old Zhao Renjie rounded out the top five in his first World Championships appearance. This is the first time since 1986 that China's divers have not reached the podium in the men's 10-meter platform event, reminding us all that every dive counts! 🤩
The Championships in Singapore served up breathtaking performances and inspiring moments, proving that in sports—and in life—a little splash can make a big difference.
