Shanxi diver Li Yajie made waves at China’s 15th National Games, clinching gold in the women’s 1m springboard with a dazzling score of 330.55 points! 🌊 The 23-year-old world champion dominated the pool, leaving rivals like Sichuan’s Chen Jia—a three-time World Cup winner—in her splash zone. 🏊♀️
Li’s near-flawless first four dives earned her an unbeatable lead, though a slight hiccup on her final 405C couldn’t stop her golden moment. Shaanxi’s Long Yiping took silver, trailing by over 30 points. 💫
Meanwhile, Shandong’s Lian Junjie stole the show in the men’s all-around event, scoring 1,005.10 points after a nail-biting face-off with veteran Cao Yuan. Lian’s birthday-week victory was sealed with a near-perfect 109C dive—the highest-scoring move of the day! 🎂🔥
The National Games continue to spotlight China’s rising athletic stars, blending Olympic-level drama with hometown pride. 🏟️✨
