Beijing time on July 3, 2022, the penultimate competition day of the Budapest World Swimming Championships ended. Chen Yiwen successfully won the women's 3-meter springboard championship, but Chang Yani made a mistake and unexpectedly missed the silver medal. The U.S. team won the women's water polo gold medal and maintained its first position in the medal list with 18 gold medals. The Chinese team ranked second. Even if it won the last two diving gold medals, it would only tie the United States in the number of gold medals, but in the medal list It can only be ranked second.
On this competition day, the 11th gold medal was decided in the diving event, and it still belonged to Chinese diving team . In the women's 3-meter springboard final, Chen Yiwen performed very steadily, scoring more than 70 points in each round, and finally won the championship with 366.90 points. The Chinese diving team achieved 11 consecutive championships in the women's 3-meter springboard event at the World Championships. ,congratulations. However, another Chinese player Chang Yani made a mistake and only scored 325.85 points in the end, 3.15 points less than Canadian player Valer. She won the bronze medal, which was also a big upset.
The Chinese diving team won the 11th gold medal in this competition, which is also the 16th gold medal for the Chinese team. It is a pity that the Chinese team cannot surpass the American team in the medal list, because the American team won a valuable gold medal on this competition day. In the women's water polo final, the United States defeated the Hungarian team 9-7, achieving the feat of winning its fourth consecutive World Championship.
This gold medal is of great significance to the US team, because the US team has 18 gold medals, two ahead of the Chinese team. Even if the Chinese team wins the last two diving gold medals, the Chinese team can only rank second on the medal list. , because the Chinese team has fewer silver medals than the American team. To put it simply, after this competition day, the United States team held the first place in the medal list in a thrilling manner, while the Chinese team was determined to win second place. The Chinese diving team has performed to the extreme, and the result is indeed regrettable.
Next, this World Swimming Championships enters the last competition day, and the last three gold medals are about to be decided. They are women's diving synchronized 3-meter springboard, men's diving , men's 10-meter platform and men's water polo. The Chinese team will compete for the last two diving gold medals. Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani will compete back to back, striving to win the women's synchronized 3-meter springboard gold medal. In addition, Yang Hao and Yang Jian competed in the men's 10-meter platform final. The two ranked top two in the semi-finals, and their advantages were obvious.
If nothing else goes wrong, the Chinese diving team will win all 13 gold medals in this competition. This is a reflection of its absolute strength. In certain events, the Chinese diving team has completed the replacement of old and new players, with young athletes taking the lead. It still has obvious advantages.
