The Chinese diving team achieved 100 gold medals at the Asian Games, with outstanding trainer Chen Yiwen winning the championship

China News Service, Tokyo, September 30 (Reporter Zhu Chenxi) The diving event of the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games concluded on September 30 at the Tokyo Aquatic Center. Chinese player Lian Junjie narrowly won the men's 10-meter platform competition and won the 10th gold medal for the Chinese team in this event. The Chinese diving team has achieved the achievement of 100 gold medals in the Asian Games. Since its first participation in 1974, it has never let the Asian Games gold medal fall by the wayside.

The men's 10-meter platform gold medal competition is between Olympic champion Lian Junjie, 15-year-old Chinese team player Zhao Renjie and Japan's Rikuto Tamai. Zhao Renjie ranked first in the first three jumps, but he made consecutive mistakes in the fourth and fifth jumps, and regrettably withdrew from the championship competition.

When his teammates missed, veteran Lian Junjie withstood the pressure and performed well in the last three jumps, finally winning the gold with 501.25 points. Rikuto Tamai won the silver medal with a difference of 4.05 points. Zhao Renjie later worked hard to catch up and won the bronze medal.

Lian Junjie said after the game: "I am very happy. The competition in the men's 10-meter platform has always been fierce, and it is not easy to hold on to this gold medal." Regarding his performance in the final, he said, "I made a mistake in the last move today. I jumped well in the front and was a little too excited. This is also an experience for me."

Talking about the 100-gold achievement, Lian Junjie said: "Before the jump, I focused on myself. I didn't realize that this was my 100th gold medal. I started to get nervous after the game."

Zhao Renjie said that he felt a little shaken when he made a mistake, but he adjusted himself in time in the next few jumps and showed his training level. He hopes to become an Olympic champion in the future.

In the women's 3-meter springboard final that day, Chinese players Chen Yiwen and Chen Jia and Japanese player Sa Mikami were also in the first echelon. Chen Yiwen performed stably and successfully defended the title with 358.05 points. Chen Jia, who participated in the Asian Games for the first time, won the silver medal with 347.45 points. Mikami Sae could also win the bronze medal.

Chen Yiwen said after the game, "I feel that my overall performance is okay, but a bit conservative." She believes that compared with the previous Asian Games, her performance is still lagging behind and the details of her movements are lacking. She hopes to break through to higher scores while maintaining stability.

Chen Jia said that participating in the Asian Games for the first time and winning 1 gold and 1 silver brought both rewards and regrets, which will become the motivation for future training.

The Chinese diving team won 10 gold medals, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes at this Asian Games.
