On September 30, the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Swimming Pool, which had been silent for less than 24 hours, became lively once more. The Chinese swimming team, which had won 28 gold medals, had just retired, and the Chinese diving “dream team” immediately took over.
The performance of the Chinese diving team in past Asian Games can be described as “perfect”. Since participating in the Asian Games for the first time in 1974, the Chinese diving team has won all gold medals in all Asian Games. At the 2023 Fukuoka World Championships that ended not long ago, they also won all the championships and were in good shape.

In the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving final, which started first, the Chinese combination Quan Hongchan/Chen Yuxi performed perfectly in five rounds and finally won the championship with a score of 85.26 points higher than the second place. The Chinese team achieved its sixth consecutive title in the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving at the Asian Games. Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi also continued their unbeaten record since becoming partners.
After the game, Japanese player Matsuri Arai, who won the silver medal, said: “As expected, the Chinese combination is perfect.” Malaysian players Pandelela Linon and Anak Pamg, who won the bronze medal, lamented: “Today they It showed its consistent level in previous competitions and its performance was impeccable.”

Faced with past glories, opponents’ praise, and the day’s victory, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi still showed modest attitudes. “The overall score seems to be relatively good, but the individual performance can only be said to be average, and we have to continue to work hard.” Chen Yuxi said.
Regarding the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving competition involving Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, many people believe that there is no suspense regarding winning the gold medal. In this regard, Chen Yuxi said: “The outside world may think that in this event, the Chinese team is far behind its competitors, but it is not that easy. Only through daily training and hard work can we achieve today’s results.”
For winning the first gold medal in the diving event at this Asian Games, the two attributed the credit to the team: “We would like to thank the Chinese diving team’s coaching staff and logistics staff for allowing us to prepare for the game with peace of mind and win this gold medal.”
In the men’s synchronized 3-meter springboard final held later, the Chinese combination Yan Siyu/He Chao won the championship with 422.55 points, winning the second gold medal for the Chinese diving team in this competition.
