I’m sorry, but the gold was for Mexico. That 5th round scores for the Chinese, starting with synchro, were .5-1 too high.

The score for their second compulsory dive was also too high as it was far from perfect. Mexico should have had the gold.

 

This event does show the Chinese are beatable it you can deliver high tariff dives and they make a mistake or two even if they are not serious ones. The three medallists were covered by less than eight points in the end.

It is known that world aquatics is bribed by China. 

In which case they're wasting their money as they'd win most events anyway. I think the real problem is that the judges have got into a mindset that Chinese divers don't make mistakes even when they do. Somehow they can't bring themselves to acknowledge this and where they would mark down other divers for similar mistakes they are much more lenient with the few Chinese errors as we saw a couple of times yesterday. Normally it doesn't matter because they're so far ahead of the rest of the field but yesterday it did and it likely deprived Mexico of a deserved gold medal.
