Hey dive fam! 🌊 Ready for some splashy news from Guangzhou? At China's 15th National Games on the Chinese mainland, Shanghai's dynamic duo Chen Yuxi and Zhang Minjie just lit up the women's synchronized 10m platform with a gold-worthy performance.
In synchronized diving, two athletes flip and twist together from a platform 10 meters up — that's like jumping off a three-story building 🔥! Chen and Zhang nailed all five of their dives with precision and flair, racking up a total of 350.22 points. That's even higher than their gold-winning score at July's World Championships in Singapore!
The competition was fierce: Tokyo Olympic champs Zhang Jiaqi and Quan Hongchan dove for event co-host Guangdong, while world champion Lu Wei paired with Li Ruixui for Sichuan. But from the very first splash, Chen and Zhang led the pack, keeping the edge all the way through.
Lu and Li grabbed silver, and Jiangsu's Liu Junxi & Meng Zerui took bronze. Tough luck for Zhang & Quan, who just missed the podium this time. These performances remind us that in sports — like when you're grinding for that top rank in Mobile Legends — consistency and teamwork are everything!
Big props to all the athletes who brought their A-game! Who else is hyped to see what they do next? 🚀✨
