On the afternoon of July 29, Beijing time, the diving competition of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games continued. In the men's double 10-meter platform competition, Yang Hao/Lian Junjie of the Chinese team won the championship with a perfect performance, which is the second gold medal of the Chinese diving team at the Paris Olympics and the 49th gold medal of the Chinese diving team in the previous Olympic Games, which is of great significance.
Prior to the Games, the most successful diving team in Olympic history belonged to Team United States, which won a total of 48 gold medals at the Games. However, after yesterday's women's double 3m springboard competition, the Chinese team equalled the total number of gold medals of the United States team, and Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani won the 48th gold medal of the Chinese diving team at the Olympic Games, and the two teams are tied for the best in history.
This afternoon, Yang Hao/Lian Junjie unsurprisingly won the men's double 10-meter platform championship, which is the 49th gold medal of the Chinese diving team in the previous Olympic Games, so far the Chinese diving team has also surpassed the United States diving team to become the most successful diving team in the history of the Olympic Games.

After yesterday's second day of competition, the Chinese team won a total of 6 medals with 3 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronzes, temporarily ranking sixth in the medal table. Obviously, this is not the position that the Chinese team should be. After Yang Hao/Lian Junjie won the diving gold medal and Huang Yuting won the shooting silver medal, the Chinese team has won a total of 8 medals with 4 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals at this Olympic Games, surpassing the Australia team, United States team, France team, Japan team and Korea team in one fell swoop to rise to the top of the medal table (as of 18 o'clock on July 29, 2024).
