Nathan Zsombor-Murray has started off with a great score of 83.20. You will need to score in the 80s to have any chance of catching China in this event.

The Chinese took two more medals in diving by dominating the rest of the field. Siye Xie finished on top by 13.60 points over his compatriot Zongyuan Wang, who enjoyed a commanding a 30 point lead over Bronze medallist Osmar Olvera Ibarra. The ridiculous part is that Ibarra himself finished third by a massive margin of 70-plus points.

Welcome back to diving action from Paris 2024.

A field of 28 is in action right now in the Women's 3m Springboard Preliminary. They will get five dives each, with the top 18 at the end of the event set to make their way to the final medal event. As always, the Chinese are the favourite to sweep the tournament.

The only question today was whether Hongchan Quan break the wold record she set as a 14-year-old -- an unfathomable 466.20.

Unfortunately, the Chinese got nowhere near the mark. At one stage she even stood the risk of being upset by her compatriot Chen. But despite being far from her best, the now 17-year-old Quan has still taken the Gold and the world remains her oyster.

A salute to the sheer domination of the Chinese women and on that note, we sign off!

MEDAL CLASSIFICATION

GOLD | Hongchan Quan (CHN) - 425.60

SILVER | Yuxi Chen (CHN) - 420.70

BRONZE | Mi Rae Kim (PRK) - 372.10

Hongchan Quan (CHN)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

A *paltry* average score would secure a secon straight gold.

OOF, THAT IS FAR FROM THE CHINESE'S BEST BUT WORLD CLASS ALL THE SAME!!!

AND SHE SEALS ANOTHER GOLD WITH A 81.60!!!

Chen Yuxi (CHN)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

The Chinese only trails her comaptriot by 5.9. Can she keep the pressure on in the fight for the gold?

FOR ANY OTHER DIVER THAT WOULD BE EXTRAORDINARY BUT FOR CHEN IT SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER SILVER!!!

A 81.60 and Quan is the strong favourite for the gold!!!

Andrea Spendolini Sirieix (GBR)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

The Brit has an outside chance. She needs a 100-plus to overtake the Korean.

THAT IS BRILLIANT UNDER PRESSURE!!!

THE BRIT FINISHES OFF WITH A MAMMOTH 81.60!!!

Mi Rae Kim (PRK)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

Anything above 70 will confirm her the Bronze medal.

MCKAY'S REACTION SAYS IT ALL AS THE NORTH KOREAN EXECUTES IT WELL!!!

A 75.80 HANDS HER THE BRONZE!!!

Alejandra Orozco Loza (MEX)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

Only a miracle can give the Mexican an outside chance at a medal spot.

Boy does she mess it up, a huge splash goes up.

The Mexican is disappointed with her 57.60.

Ellie Cole (AUS)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

The Australian needs at least a 95 for the medal.

She will get nowehere near the mark but an outstanding effort nevertheless.

A decent 62.40 on the fifth and final dive for the 17-year-old.

Caeli McKay (CAN)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

She needs to nail this one to keep in the fight for a Bronze.

THE ITALIAN SMILES AND FOR GOOD REASON!!!

A GREAT 76.80 ON HER FINAL EFFORT!!!

Matsuri Arai (JAP)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

Gabriela Garcia Agundez (MEX)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

The Mexican can make a claim on the bronze medal with a great dive.

It is a great effort but the splash is too big to get her in serious contention.

The judges award her 72 points.

Sarah Jodoin Di Maria (ITA)

Armstand Back Double Somersault 1½ Twists Free - 3.2

The Italian is practically out of the medals already unless she can come up with a near-perfect effort.

The 24-year-old fares well but it won't be enough.

A 67.20 on her final dive.

Melissa Wu (AUS)

Back 2½ Somersaults 1½ Twists Pike - 3.2

Another decent effort but nowhere near perfect.

A solid 62.40 to end the Aussie's campaign.

Else Praasterink (NED)

Forward 2½ Somersaults 1 Twist Pike - 2.9

The Dutch does not goo too crazy on her final attempt and is all smiles.

50.75 to cap off the final.

A final round of diving awaits. It has been neck and neck between the two Chinese women. North Korean Mi Rae Kim has a firm hold over third at the moment.

Back 3½ Somersaults Tuck - 3.3

Reverse 2½ Somersaults Tuck - 2.8

Decent at best from the Brit.

And a decent 60.20 to show for it.

Mi Rae Kim (PRK)

Inward 3½ Somersaults Tuck - 3.2

Can the North Korean further cement her third spot?

That was a solid dive under pressure, one of the North Korean's very best!!! The feet split slightly to allow a bigger splash though.

She is graded a 76.80.

One of her better efforts on the tough attempt. Relatively clean entry.

A solid 69.30. 

Sarah Jodoin Di Maria (ITA)

Back 2½ Somersaults Pike - 2.9

The body was nit aligned at all at the point of entry. The legs were way behind her hands.

Inward 3½ Somersaults Tuck - 3.2

Same is the case for the Australian, if not a tad worse than the Dutch competitor.

52.80.

Else Praasterink (NED)
