French Diver’s “Jewels” In Tight Swimming Trunks Become Talk Of The Town At Olympics
“I work with her a lot. I also watch diver videos or my dives. I looked back at last year’s dives to see what I missed, what was good and what wasn’t so good, to self-correct and see what I could improve. I did some dry rehearsal. I imagine myself in my head on the board and I rehearse on the floor,” he said in the same interview.
Diving is among the most keenly watched events by fans at the Olympics , captivating audiences with its breathtaking combination of athleticism and artistry. Each dive is a suspenseful spectacle, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as athletes perform gravity-defying feats with precision and grace.
China has so far secured more diving gold medals than any other nation, surpassing the once-dominant United States for the top position on Monday, according to AP News .
Athletes Lian Junjie and Yang Hao claimed a victory in the synchronized 10-meter platform event, earning China’s 49th gold medal in the sport.
While some records also credit the U.S. with 49 golds, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) categorizes a 1904 win in the now-defunct “plunging for distance” event as swimming, not diving.
Following clarification from the IOC, China’s achievement is now unrivaled.

Lian and Yang’s clinch of the top spot on the podium left famous British diver Tom Daley—a five-time Olympian who won gold at the same event in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics —with a silver medal on Monday.
“Obviously, China dived absolutely incredibly today. They showed incredible form,” he said. “Every single one of their dives was flawless.”
Tom was accompanied by his husband, Dustin Lance Black, and their two children at this year’s Olympics.
“One of the main reasons for coming back to diving was to be able to have my kids watch and they’re all coming. My husband, the kids, my mum, my grandma, all my friends, aunties, uncles… We managed to get a lot of tickets this time around as I was a bit more prepared on the ticket front,” he said ahead of the games.
