China completed the greatest diving performance in Olympic history in Tokyo by winning gold medals in seven of the eight events. In the one they did not win, the men’s synchronised 10 metres, they were second. Among the highlights: Xie Siyi became the first male diver in 20 years to win both individual and synchronised three metre springboard at the same Olympics, and Quan Hongchan, aged 14, received perfect 10s from all seven of the judges in two of her five dives as she won the 10 metre platform. Since their first gold medal in 1984, China have won 40 gold medals out of a possible 56.
