China is set for a historic victory in Olympic diving, winning seven out of eight possible gold medals. On Friday, Chen Yiwen secured the women's 3-meter springboard title, contributing to China’s stellar performance. The men's 10-meter platform event is all that remains for a complete sweep.

China is on the brink of an unprecedented achievement in Olympic diving, having won seven out of a possible eight gold medals at the Paris Olympics. With just one event remaining, the nation continues its dominant streak in the sport.

On Friday, Chen Yiwen triumphed in the women's 3-meter springboard event, marking her second gold in Paris after an earlier win in the 3-meter synchronized dive. Accompanied by Chang Yani, who secured bronze, they were cheered on by enthusiastic Chinese supporters. Australia’s Maddison Keeney took silver.

This dominance isn’t new for China, having won the women's 3-meter springboard for the last ten Olympics. With the men's 10-meter platform event left, China could complete an historic golden sweep, bringing its total to 54 golds out of 71 possible since 1984.
