Fukuoka (Japan), July 15 (Ians) China secured all three diving gold medals in the World Aquatics Championships here on Saturday, delivering a potent signal to competitors of their readiness for another clean sweep ahead of the Paris Olympics next year.
The Chinese powerhouse’s initial victory was courtesy of two teenagers. Fourteen-year-old Wang Feilong, in concert with 19-year-old Olympic champion Zhang Jiaqi, clinched the mixed synchronised 10m platform, reports Xinhua.
Zhang, a women’s synchronised platform victor at the Tokyo Olympics, inspired her younger teammate Wang Feilong to lead from the start in their triumphant performance. The pair accrued a total of 339.54 points over six dives, outpacing Mexico’s Jose Balleza Isaias and Vivana Delangel Peniche who garnered 313.44 points.
China’s second gold was claimed by Lin Shan, who outperformed her compatriot and reigning champion Li Yajie in the women’s one-meter springboard.
An electrifying men’s synchronised three-meter springboard final unfolded next.
