'Sleeping' Chinese divers maintain perfect Paris Olympics record

The teenage duo of Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi obliterated the rest of the field in the women's synchronised 10m platform with 359.10 points, leaving North Korea trailing in their wake in second (315.90) and Britain third (304.38). At the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games three years ago, China won seven of the eight golds. The British duo of Tom Daley and Matty Lee clinched the other. Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, the British bronze medallist, said Quan and Chen, 17 and 18 respectively, were impossible to catch.
