China News Service, Beijing, February 11th. On the 10th local time, all competitions in the diving and synchronized swimming events of the Doha World Swimming Championships ended. In the men's singles 10-meter platform final, Chinese player Yang Hao won the championship with a total score of 564.05 points, winning the ninth gold medal for the Chinese diving team. In the synchronized swimming mixed pairs free-selection final, the Chinese pair Cheng Wentao/Shi Haoxuan successfully defended their title. The Chinese synchronized swimming team created the best record in the world championships in team history with 7 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
The diving event enters the last competition day on the 10th. Chinese player Yang Hao defeated teammate Cao Yuan, who returned to the competition, and won the first gold medal of his career in the men's singles 10-meter platform at the World Championships. At last year's Fukuoka World Swimming Championships, the Chinese diving team failed to win the men's singles 10-meter platform. When they came to Doha, the Chinese diving team sent Yang Hao and three-time Olympic champion Cao Yuan to compete in the event. In the final, Yang Hao performed even better, gradually building a lead after the first two jumps, and finally won the ninth gold medal for the Chinese diving team at this World Championships.
The men's singles 10-meter platform is the last event participated by the Chinese diving team. At this World Championships, the Chinese diving team won a total of 9 gold medals and 4 silver medals, continuing to maintain strong dominance in Olympic events. Young player Huang Jianjie of the team, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, also received training.
In the final event of synchronized swimming, the mixed doubles free choice final, the previous champions Cheng Wentao/Shi Haoxuan won a game-high 224.1437 points, adding another gold medal to the Chinese team. The Spanish combination and the Mexican combination won the runner-up and third place respectively. So far, the Chinese Huaying Team has created the best record in the World Championships with 7 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze in all 11 events.
Zhang Xiaohuan, head coach of China Huayou Team, maintains a cautious and calm attitude towards the best record. She said that although the Chinese team has an absolute advantage from the medal list, the world flower tourism has not yet formed a stable pattern. Under the new scoring system, small mistakes may lead to missing medals. "We must carefully summarize the areas that can be improved this time and make further preparations for the Paris Olympics."
On the 11th local time, the swimming events of the Doha World Swimming Championships will begin. The first day of competition will determine the gold medals in four events: women's 400m freestyle, women's 4x100m freestyle relay, men's 400m freestyle, and men's 4x100m freestyle relay. (over)
