Lin led all the way, winning with 318.60 points. Li was the clear second with 3:06.35, and while she had the best dive of the fourth round with a score of 61.50, she couldn\u2019t keep the pressure on Lin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2023-world-aquatics-championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 World Aquatics Championships<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2023\/world-aquatics-championships-div-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Worlds Diving Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cNot a lot came to my mind when I realized that I had won the gold medal,\u201d Lin said. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel much pressure, it was more about energy and encouragement. I thank (my friends, family and even the fans) for coming to Japan to cheer for the Chinese team. I think (my dive in) the third round was my best performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Third place was the hotly contested one. A poor first-round dive had Canada\u2019s playing catch-up the whole way. She moved from 12th after one round to third after two, delivering the best dive of the entire competition, a 69.00-pointer on her 305C. But Mexico\u2019s <strong>Aranza Vazquez Montano<\/strong> delivered a massive dive in the final round, scoring 67.50 on her 305C to leap from fifth after three rounds to bronze. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-womens-championships-aranza-vazquez-montano-wins-3-meter-diving-to-sweep-springboard-titles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCAA 3-meter champ from the University of North Carolina<\/a> scored 285.05 points, just edging Ware\u2019s 284.40.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just trusted myself, I knew I could do a good dive,\u201d Vazquez said. \u201cWe were close, and (I knew that) everything was going to be determined by the last round. It was the longest ten seconds of my life having to wait for those scores to come up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hailey Hernandez<\/strong> was the top American finisher, in seventh.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese pairings faced little opposition on the way to gold. Long and Wang supplied the highest-scoring dive of five of the six rounds, all but the fifth. They tallied 456.33 points.<\/p>\n<p>The 100.32 scored on a masterpiece final dive, a 109C, was far and away the best executed of the event. None of the other pairings topped 84 points with any of their dives.<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Anthony Harding<\/strong> and <strong>Jack Laugher<\/strong> kept pace as best they could. They were second all the way, and their dive of 83.22 points in the fifth round clawed back 10 points on the leading pair from China. They scored 424.62 points, and while it wasn\u2019t enough for gold, it was plenty for the expectations of Laugher, who has struggled with a knee injury this year and seen Harding battled through ailments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are here, we&#8217;ve done the job, we&#8217;re really happy with the performance, there are still some things to improve on,\u201d Laugher, a three-time Olympic medalist, said. \u201cBetween Anthony and I, we just want to thank everyone who has been involved in getting us to where we are now \u2013 without the physios, doctors, medical staff, our coaches, friends and family and everyone involved in our team, we would not be here without them. It&#8217;s been a very emotional day with some dropped dives here and there, but we&#8217;re really happy overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The French duo of <strong>Jules Bouyer<\/strong> and <strong>Alexis Jandard <\/strong>weathered a terrible middle two dives to score 389.10 points and nip the Americans (385.23) to bronze. They and the Americans were tied for fourth after the first two rounds, then the U.S. duo of <strong>Tyler Downs<\/strong> and <strong>Greg Duncan<\/strong> moved into third place, as the French delivered the 12th-best dive of round 3 and 10th in round 4.<\/p>\n<p>But they scored 82.62 on the fifth round and 78.75 on the sixth, while Downs and Duncan had the worst dive of the final round, earning just 63 points to Bouyer and Jandard\u2019s 78.75. The Americas did, however, secure an Olympic quota space, with the French already guaranteed a spot in the Paris Games they will host.<\/p>\n<p>Wang and Zhang led wire-to-wire in the 10-meter mixed platform, scoring 339.54. Mexico finished strong, with<strong> Jose Balleza Isaias <\/strong>and <strong>Viviana del Angel Peniche<\/strong> hitting the high-scoring dives of the last two rounds \u2013 75.84 and 76.80 \u2013 to surge to silver in 313.44. <strong>Hiroki Ito<\/strong> and <strong>Minami Itahashi<\/strong> brought home the host nation\u2019s first medal with a bronze, scoring 305.34.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason we were able to pull ourselves together and have a good performance was because of the support of the fans every time we were introduced,\u201d Ito said. \u201cI have nothing but appreciation for all of our Japanese fans. We did not feel much pressure. I knew that if we got a decisive score in the third round with the 407C dive, we could ride that wave all the way to the podium. I am glad that we were able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China Wins Three Gold Medals on First Day of Diving at Worlds China opened the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka with three gold medals, a fitting start for the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":524967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[70622,88771,132802,132255,65241,42039,38444,96477,132803,132799,97149,132800,33167,50792,132804,132797,132801,132798],"class_list":["post-532491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diving","tag-2023-world-aquatics-championships","tag-alexis-jandard","tag-anthony-harding","tag-aranza-vazquez-montano","tag-greg-duncan","tag-hailey-hernandez","tag-jack-laugher","tag-jose-balleza-isaias","tag-jules-bouyer","tag-li-yiaje","tag-lin-shan","tag-long-daoyi","tag-pamela-ware","tag-tyler-downs","tag-viviana-del-angel-peniche","tag-wang-feiling","tag-wang-zonguan","tag-zhang-jiaqui"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
