Chinese diving star Chen Yuxi, 19, soared to her fourth 🥇 women's 10m platform world championship gold in Singapore on Thursday, solidifying China's dominance with eight diving golds at this year's event. Her flawless performance earned a jaw-dropping 430.50 points—nearly 63 points ahead of Germany's Pauline Pfeif.
🏆 'Every title has its own story,' Chen told reporters, reflecting on her journey since her 2019 debut win in Gwangju. Despite battling injuries and pressure, she delivered a personal-best 430-point show this year. 'I'm starting from zero again,' she added, hinting at her focus on future Olympic cycles.
Teen teammate Xie Peiling, 15, snagged bronze in her 🌍 first Worlds appearance, calling Chen a 'role model' after receiving pep talks during semifinal jitters. With Paris 2024 behind them, all eyes are now on LA 2028—but Chen's keeping it humble: 'Step by step!'
