China Sweeps All Diving Golds at Paris Olympics

Cao Yuan defended his title in the men's 10-meter platform event at the Paris Olympics, securing China's unprecedented sweep of all eight diving gold medals. This marks the first time any country has achieved such dominance since the diving program expanded to eight events in 2000. Cao finished with 547.50 points, becoming the first male diver since Greg Louganis in 1988 to win back-to-back gold medals in the platform event. Japan’s Rikuto Tamai earned silver with 507.65 points, marking Japan’s first diving medal, while Noah Williams of Great Britain took the bronze with 497.35 points. China has now won 56 out of 72 gold medals in diving since the 1984 Olympics.
