A crucial moment in the fourth round featured both divers performing the same dive, but Chen stood out with a remarkable execution, scoring 92.4 points. In contrast, Quan faced difficulties with a poor entry, resulting in a score of 64.35 points, causing her to lose the lead.

In a similar vein, Quan expressed, "I am satisfied with the results, both for this competition and the stop in Mexico. This is beyond my expectations, as I have never done so well in daily training."
