What a day in Guangzhou! On Tuesday, Shandong’s Lian Junjie pulled off an epic comeback at China’s 15th National Games, leaping back into the spotlight after nine months out with a shoulder injury. He topped the men’s 10m platform final with a jaw-dropping 105.45-point dive on his last attempt, edging out Beijing veteran Cao Yuan by just 3.5 points and finishing with 530.85 overall. Talk about #goals! 🤩💪
Cao Yuan kicked things off with a strong 91.80 on his first dive, and Shaanxi’s 14-year-old phenom Zhao Renjie led early on before Lian took over in round three. The battle went back and forth, but Lian’s final dive sealed the deal, making his gold medal moment even sweeter.
Meanwhile, Lin Shan also made waves by claiming gold in the women’s 3m springboard final, adding another highlight to a thrilling day of diving action. Fans across South and Southeast Asia were glued to their screens, celebrating every twist and splash! 🏊♀️🎉
These wins not only showcase China’s diving talent but also remind us why we love high-stakes sports drama. Whether you’re cheering courtside or streaming on your phone, moments like these are what make sports unmissable.
