Chen Yiwen's gold on Friday kept up China's 100 per cent record at the Paris Games with one event to go
Chen Yiwen's gold on Friday kept up China's 100 per cent record at the Paris Games with one event to goIf they win the men’s 10m platform on Saturday – as they have at the last two Olympics – it will constitute a historic clean sweep of gold medals. Eight is a lucky number in Chinese culture, but there is nothing lucky about these eight golds, which will take China clear as diving’s most successful nation with their 50th title, ahead of the Americans on 49.
Hosting the Games was no doubt a driver to upscale that investment further, and China topped the medal table with 48 golds of their 100 medals that year. Seven of those golds came in diving, as in fact 18 per cent of their all-time golds have – 49 out of 265 – but they fell one short of the clean sweep again.
“They do live at the pool. I’ve been to the national pool that one of the girls dives at and I’ve seen the facilities and what their life is like.China is up to 49 diving golds all-time and has won seven of them in Paris He added: “Every day we go from the dormitory to the training centre, then we go back to eat, then we go back to training, then we go back to sleep again.”
These are often in the south-eastern parts of the country like Guangdong, the province that produced Quan Hongchan.
