When it comes to style points, the job done by <strong>Andrew Capobianco<\/strong> and <strong>Michael Hixon<\/strong> was smooth, poised and unquestioned.<\/p>\n<p>Capobianco and Hixon were second after every dive from the third round on, tallying a six-dive total of 444.36 points to easily secure silver at the men\u2019s 3-meter synchro springboard event at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The duo was fifth after the compulsory dives. But once they DD ratcheted up, they rose up the ranks. A huge hit in the third round, a forward two-and-a-half somersaults with two twists, netted 83.64 points to vault them into second. It was their lowest score of any attempt in the final four rounds of the event.<\/p>\n<p>There was no catching the Chinese pairing of <strong>Wang Zongyuan<\/strong> and <strong>Xie Siyi,<\/strong> who scored 467.82 points to take home gold for the powerhouse program. They had the highest-scoring dive of five of the six rounds, all but the fifth when Capobianco and Hixon converted their inward tuck three-and-a-half to get 86.70 points.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamUSA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamUSA<\/a> got it done. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ajcapo_99?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ajcapo_99<\/a> and Mike Hixon dove to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TokyoOlympics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TokyoOlympics<\/a> silver. ?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GO6hXZTOF3\">pic.twitter.com\/GO6hXZTOF3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Team USA (@TeamUSA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamUSA\/status\/1420284487162765313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the first Olympic medal for Capobianco, an All-American and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/andrew-capobianco-defends-his-3m-diving-ncaa-title-from-2019\/\">NCAA champion<\/a> at Indiana University who will also compete in the individual event.

He is incredible at those four dives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think a lot of it was just having someone to look up to and almost chase in practice a little bit,\u201d Capobianco said. \u201cIt was just great to have the best diver in the country in your pool every day. To have him to look up to and learn from &#8211; he&#8217;s taught me so much about competing and just being a world-class diver, so it&#8217;s been great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese pair had the biggest dive of the competition, icing gold with 99.18 points on a 3.8 DD forward tuck four-and-a-half in the sixth. It\u2019s a frightening sight to see, with Wang a mere 19 years old. He won the one-meter springboard at the World Championships in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been waiting for this moment for nine years,\u201d Wang said. \u201cI was so happy with our brilliant timing. I have a lot of emotions in my head right now. To participate in an Olympic Games for the first time was not so hard for me. It felt a little bit different, but I knew I had to do what I do well, and I did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Xie, 25, won gold in the 3-meter synchro at that Worlds with <strong>Cao Yuan<\/strong> after the pair took silver in 2017. (Yuan and <strong>Chen Aisen<\/strong> earned silver in the 10-meter synchro.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fourth time China has won the men&#8217;s 3-meter synchro event, and it rectifies the one non-gold from eight events in Rio in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very happy to get the gold medal,\u201d Xie said. \u201cWe didn&#8217;t have very long to practice together, but from the moment we met, we understood each other very quickly and very well, so there were no problems for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The bronze came down to the wire. A gamble by the Mexican pair of <strong>Yahel Castillo Huerto<\/strong> and <strong>Juan Celaya Hernadez<\/strong> didn\u2019t pay off, their high-DD inward forward four-and-a-half dropping them from third to fourth. The Russian pair of <strong>Evgenii Kuznetsov<\/strong> and <strong>Nikita Schleikher<\/strong> failed their sixth dive, falling from fourth to last in eighth.<\/p>\n<p>That allowed <strong>Patrick Hausding<\/strong> and <strong>Lars Rudiger<\/strong> of Germany to execute their forward four-and-a-half tuck to the tune of 85.50 points. It was the fourth-best dive of the round and enough to vault from sixth to bronze.
