Chen Jia Makes a Splash: Wins Gold at Diving World Cup! 🏆

Have you ever tried diving into a pool from a high diving board? It can be super exciting and a bit scary! Well, Chen Jia, a 20-year-old diver from China, just did something amazing at the Diving World Cup in Canada. She won the gold medal in the women’s 3-meter springboard event! 🎉

In the competition held in Windsor, Chen Jia showed incredible skill and grace. She performed five fantastic dives, each one better than the last! She scored a total of 379.05 points, which is higher than last year’s winning score at the Paris Summer Olympics! That’s a big deal! 😮

Chen Jia wasn’t alone on the podium. Her teammate, Chen Yiwen, also did an awesome job and won the silver medal with 369.90 points. It was a thrilling battle between the two talented divers. Australia’s Maddison Keeney took home the bronze medal. 🥇🥈🥉

“I feel a bit tired after competing in two events back-to-back,” Chen Jia said. “But I’m happy with my performance. I want to keep improving!”

But that’s not all! China’s divers did great in other events too. Cheng Zilong won the men’s 10-meter platform event, and the duo Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie won the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform. Way to go, Team China! 🇨🇳

The next big competition, called the Super Final, will take place in Beijing from May 2nd to 4th. We can’t wait to see what happens next! 🤩
