Quan Hongchan leads Guangdong to gold in team diving at National Games

The 18-year-old Chinese talented diver Quan Hongchan and her partner Wang Weiying finished first in the Women's synchronized 10-meter platform event at the 15th National Games, leading the Guangdong team to snatch the gold in the women's team event.

This marks a remarkable debut for the duo, who teamed up for the first time.

Representing Guangdong, Quan and Wang led the pack after their initial two dives, establishing a narrow margin over their closest rivals. 

Despite fierce competition from Shanghai, which pushed hard for the lead, the Guangdong pair ultimately secured the gold by a slim 0.9-point margin, thanks to their strong start.

Along with Wang's first-place finish in the individual 10-meter platform event, and Chen Yiwen triumphed in both the individual and synchronized 3-meter springboard events -- partnering with Lin Shan -- Guangdong swept all four diving events, capturing the coveted women's team diving gold medal. 

Sichuan and Shaanxi rounded out the podium, taking home the silver and bronze medals, respectively.
