Diving: Chen Yiwen wins women’s 3m springboard gold
As expected, the People’s Republic of China have won another diving gold, this one in the women’s 3m springboard thanks to Chen Yiwen.
Chen scored 376.00 from her five dives to win by over 30 points from the silver medallist.
But what is perhaps surprising is the identity of that silver medallist – not Chen’s teammate and synchro partner Chang Yani, but rather Australia’s Maddison Keeney.
Chang had a bad first dive that scored over 25 points fewer than Keeney, and although Chang was consistently second throughout the four remaining dives was not able to overcome that deficit.
Keeney took silver on 343.10, while Chang won bronze with 318.75 points.
