In recent years, the men's 10-meter platform has been considered the most suspenseful of all diving events. In the previous double contest, the combination of Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen regretted losing the gold medal.
For singles, the Chinese team once again sent Cao Yuan, who has participated in the Olympics for the third time, and formed a "double insurance" with him, and it was Olympic rookie Yang Jian.
In the preliminaries, Yang Jian, who has the world's most difficult maneuver from the men's platform, advanced to the first place with 546.90 points, and Cao Yuan ranked second. In the semi-finals this morning, Yang Jian advanced to the second place due to a mistake in the third round. Cao Yuan takes the top spot by virtue of his stable performance.
The main opponent of the Chinese team, the British star Daly ranked fourth.
On August 7, local time, the Tokyo Olympic diving final day, Cao Yuan won the men's 10-meter platform championship with 582.35 points, and Yang Jian won the runner-up.

In the final contest, the two Chinese players performed well in the first three jumps, but Daly, who had not shown his best performance before, played amazingly for three consecutive rounds. Before the start of the fourth round, Yang Jian and Cao Yuan ranked second and third respectively. The weak lead is in the first place.
In the key fourth jump, Daly's movements were flawed, and Cao Yuan successfully jumped to the top with his outstanding performance. Yang Jian led Daly in second place by less than one point.
This rank remains until the last jump.
Daly, who played first, failed to perform perfectly on his best 207B, scoring 91.80 points.
As Yang Jian, known as the "difficulty king", beautifully completed the world's unique 109B, this most suspenseful diving gold medal has been captured by the Chinese team. With this difficulty reaching 4.1, Yang Jian scored 112.75 points. The highest score of the game.

Although not as difficult as his teammates, Cao Yuan, who played in the final stage, was calm and calm. In the end, the last Olympic 3-meter springboard champion won the gold medal of the 10-meter platform with a total score of 582.35 with high-quality performance.
Yang Jian ranked second with a gap of less than two points, and Daley won the bronze medal.
As one of the few Chinese diving players to participate in the three Olympic Games, Cao Yuan is a rare diving athlete who has achieved outstanding results on both the platform and the springboard.
It is understood that just before the trip to Tokyo, Cao Yuan also experienced serious injuries from a dislocated shoulder.
After winning the gold this time, the new platform champion bluntly said that he had doubted whether he could complete the trip to Tokyo at the time. “I was shocked and full of question marks for myself.” After arduous rehabilitation training, this man was born in 1995. The athlete of 2015 finally achieved one gold and one silver result in this tournament. He said, “After losing the gold medal in both pairs, today’s game feels more broken. What’s more important is to adjust your mentality and focus on your own. Play."
So far, the diving competitions of this Olympic Games have all ended. The Chinese diving "dream team" has shown its solid strength and won all 4 gold and silver medals in single events, and the final 7 gold medals equaled its highest in all previous Olympics. Good results, a perfect ending.
