Chinese divers Chen Jia and Chen Yiwen engaged in an exhilarating competition in the women's 3-meter springboard final during the World Aquatics Diving World Cup held in Windsor, Canada, on Sunday, with Chen Jia ultimately securing the gold medal.
At just 20 years old, Chen Jia entered the event as a wild card after her victory at the previous World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, earlier in April. She showcased remarkable consistency throughout all five rounds, achieving a total score of 379.05 points—surpassing Chen Yiwen's winning score from last year's Paris Summer Olympics.
"My score is a little bit lower than at the Mexico leg, and I feel tired after these two consecutive stops," Chen Jia commented. "So it is normal that I scored lower. I need to perfect the details and improve on the gestures."
Chen Yiwen finished in second place with 369.90 points, while Maddison Keeney from Australia secured the third position with a score of 336.55 points.
In the evening's other finals, Cheng Zilong from China triumphed in the men's 10m platform final, scoring 511.10 points. His fellow compatriot Zhu Zifeng took second place, with Oleksiy Sereda from Ukraine finishing third.
The female duo of Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie claimed the title in the women's 10m synchronized platform competition, dominating with a score of 327.36 points. Mexican divers Gabriela Agundez and Alejandra Estudillo finished in second, while Lois Toulson and Maisie Bond from Britain took third.
Overall, Chinese divers excelled in Windsor, bringing home a total of eight gold medals, three silvers, and one bronze. The next event, which will be the season's Super Final, is set to take place from May 2-4 in Beijing.
