On July 29, Beijing time, the Paris Olympics ushered in the third day of competition, and the men's double 10-meter platform diving staged a peak duel, and Lian Junjie/Yang Hao represented the Chinese team. In the end, the pair won the gold medal in the men's double 10m platform with an absolute advantage of 490.35 points. The United Kingdom, the most threatening pair before the game, finished second with 463.44 points, while the Canada team won bronze with 422.13 points.
At the last Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese diving team won seven of the eight gold medals, and only missed the gold medal in the men's double 10-meter platform. During the subsequent preparations for the Paris Olympics, Yang Hao and Lian Junjie gradually showed their talents, and they won the championship in the 2024 World Swimming Championships and the 2024 FINA Diving World Cup Finals. This championship also made up for the regret of the previous Tokyo Olympics.
A total of eight pairs competed in the men's double 10m platform diving final, with seven other pairs from Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Germany, Ukraine and France in addition to Lian Junjie/Yang Hao.
The men's double 10-meter platform diving final was held in 6 rounds, and Lian Junjie/Yang Hao made their 7th appearance. Their first jump was 101B, with a difficulty coefficient of 2.0, and they scored 56.40 points to rank first. The second jump was 401B, and the difficulty coefficient was still 2.0, but the inward diving selected this time was still stable, scoring 57.60 points, and the total score continued to lead the audience with 114 points. After two jumps, only three pairs scored more than 100 points, with Canada and United Kingdom temporarily tied for second place with 105 points.
After the start of the third jump, each team combination performed an optional move, and Lian Junjie/Yang Hao increased the difficulty coefficient to 3.2, and their chosen move was 5253B. With a neat entry into the water, they scored 85.44 in the round, and the overall score remained more than 10 points ahead of second-placed United Kingdom.
In the fourth jump, Lian Junjie/Yang Hao chose the action of 307C, and the difficulty coefficient was increased to 3.4. Although the United Kingdom group in the previous group scored a high score of 93.96 points, it was not affected too much. Their near-perfect synchronicity earned them a high score of 95.88 and a 295.32 points to lead the field.
In the fifth jump, Lian Junjie/Yang Hao chose the action of 207B, and the difficulty coefficient came to 3.6. Although Lian Junjie's synchronization was slightly worse, the last two had relatively good splash handling, scoring 91.80 points in this round, leading the court by 17 points. The United Kingdom pair, who posed the greatest threat to the Chinese team in this game, did not play well in this round, scoring 87.72 points and continuing to rank second.
In the sixth jump, Lian Junjie/Yang Hao chose the action of 109C, and the difficulty coefficient of 307 came to the most difficult jump today. The more they jumped, the easier it became, they ended today's competition with a perfect jump, and finally scored 103.23 points, and the total score came to 490.35 to win the championship.
