In a riveting showdown at the Diving World Cup in Windsor, Canada, China's Chen Jia dazzled the crowd by clinching the women's 3-meter springboard gold 🏅. At just 20, she turned her wild card invite into an outstanding performance, scoring 379.05 points and proving her mettle on the global stage.
Chen Jia admitted, "My score is a little bit lower than at the Mexico leg, and I feel tired after these two consecutive stops. So it is normal that I scored lower. I need to perfect the details and improve on the gestures," showing her determination to innovate and improve with every dive.
The competition was fiercely contested, with Chen Yiwen of China securing silver with 369.90 points, and Australia's Maddison Keeney capturing bronze at 336.55 points. The event also featured more incredible acts: China's Cheng Zilong topped the men’s 10m platform with 511.10 points, while Zhu Zifeng followed closely behind. Meanwhile, the women's 10m synchronized platform was dominated by the exceptional Chinese duo Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie, even as teams from Mexico and Britain rounded out the podium.
Overall, Chinese divers shone brightly, taking home eight golds, three silvers, and one bronze. With the season’s Super Final scheduled for May 2-4 in Beijing, the excitement is far from over.
