China Wins Gold in Women's 3m Diving

In the women's synchronized 3m springboard event at the Paris 2024 Olympics, China's Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani secured the gold medal, marking their first Olympic title and extending China's dominance in this event with six consecutive Olympic golds. The duo scored a total of 337.68 points, comfortably outpacing American pair Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook, who earned silver with 314.64 points. Great Britain's Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen made history by winning bronze, marking the country's first medal in this event and the first Olympic medal on Day 1 for Team GB since 2004. This event highlighted the impressive comeback of Harper's teammate Mew Jensen, who recently recovered from an injury. The competition also featured heartbreak for Australia's Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, who fell short of a medal due to a mistimed dive. The podium finishers were the only teams to score over 300 points during the event.
