Men's 10m Platform Synchro - Final Result:

1.)  Noah Williams / Tom Daley - 465.00

2.)  Rylan Wiens / Nathan Zsombor-Murray - 408.99 

3.)  Cassiel Rousseau / Domonic Bedggood - 402.57

-----------------------------------------------------------------

4.)  Maxwell Flory / Zachary Cooper - 379.62

5.)  Luis Carlo Avila Sanchez / Tom Laszlo Waldsteiner - 358.44

6.)  Anton Knoll / Dariush Lofti - 355.56

7.)  Danylo Avanesov / Mark Hrytsenko - 353.79

8.)  Andreas Sargent Larsen / Riccardo Giovannini - 349.83

9.)  Max Linan / Carlos Camacho Del Hoyo - 317.79

 

I think that could be the best result for the British pairing since Daley returned and is just 7 points shy of what they scored in Tokyo to take the gold.

Silver for Osmar Olvera, who had an irregular performance in the final.

 

He needs to start working on mental strength, otherwise he’ll end up outside podium.

 

Well earned bronze medal for Rudiger, probably the one who gave his best in every round.

Men's 3m Springboard Final:

1.)  Zongyuan Wang - 505.90

2.)  Osmar Olvera Ibarra - 476.70

3.)  Lars Rudiger - 463.20

-----------------------------------------------

4.)  Jiuyuan Zheng - 450.60

5.)  Daniel Goodfellow - 447.40

6.)  Alexis Jandard - 420.75

7.)  Shixin Li - 419.65

8.)  Moritz Wesemann - 413.60

9.)  Jack Laugher - 395.80

10.)  Kurtis Mathews - 394.75

11.)  Tyler Downs - 388.00

12.)  Lorenzo Marsaglia - 341.85

 

A couple of points I'd pick out from the result:

 

Rudiger showed the power of having an "easier" program, but performing it really consistently. Although he barely scored higher than an 8 (he had two 8.5s from 42 judges scores), he also only had 1 score less than 7.

 

Osmar Olvera Ibarra's medal was won with his last dives. He scored 93.10 and 87.75 for his two most difficult dives. Without those two stellar scores, he was heading for a mid-table finish.

 

Jack Laugher had a real off-day. He had four rounds where his dive score was in the bottom half and in two rounds he was the absolute lowest scorer.

 

Daniel Goodfellow was on course for a good score a possible podium finish but had trouble with his forward 4 1/2 and his forward 2 1/2 with 3 twists. On the upside, he made the final which is more than he achieved in Montreal.

 

I'm not sure whether we will see Jiuyuan Zheng on the Chinese squad when we get to Paris - that's the second world cup event where he has failed to podium.

Most probably he will not get to paris. The reason why he attend world cup is merely OG defending champion Xie Siyi is not eligible to compete due to the absence of last season. The selection of China squad is mostly finished. Wang Zongyuan and Xie siyi will compete individual event. Wang and Long will compete synchro.

Women's 10m Platform Final:

1.)  Hongchan Quan - 432.80

2.)  Andrea Spendolini Sirieix - 339.10

3.)  Caeli McKay - 331.30

-----------------------------------------------------------

4.)  Delaney Schnell - 326.10

5.)  Matsuri Arai - 313.05

6.)  Sarah Jodoin Di Maria - 312.85

6.)  Elena Wassen - 312.85

8.)  Elaena Dick - 308.60

9.)  Maia Biginelli - 291.60

10.)  Valeria Antolino - 278.05

11.)  Pauline Alexandra Pfeif - 274.20

12.)  Emily Meaney - 241.10

 

The gulf in the scores of the Chinese divers compared to the rest of the world is at its most extreme in this event. Quan could basically have sat out a round whilst having a mani-pedi and still won the competition.

Do you know more about China selection?

Basically same as the squad in Doha WCH, maybe only one spot uncertain, the second quota of men's 10m platform. It will be given to OG defending champion Cao Yuan who is absent on World Cup or Lian Junjie who has to prove himself on World Cup final.

China doesn’t have an Olympic Trials for diving? That’s surprising to me.

There are 3 trials and it all finished. Doha WCH was the last stage and the other two were in 2023. So the quota I mentioned above is the only uncertain one. All other athletes are quite consistent in all 3 stages.
