      Families and friends of Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, Chinese gold and silver medalists in the Women's 10m Platform Final diving event, were filled with excitement as they watched from China on Tuesday.

      Quan Hongchan grabbed the gold with 425.6 points, edging her compatriot Chen Yuxi to second place with 420.7. After competing together in the women's synchro event just days earlier, Quan and Chen pushed each other to their limits in the individual event, right up to the final dive.

      In Zhanjiang City, Quan's hometown in south China's Guangdong Province, family and community members gathered in an auditorium to watch the Olympic broadcast, cheering enthusiastically for her through every dive until she won gold.

      "She has made significant progress in her diving techniques and psychological resilience over the past few years. Especially in her psychological resilience, she overcame immense pressure and high-intensity challenges at the Olympics. I'm happy for her and proud of her," said Chen Huaming, Quan's initial coach.

      In Shanghai, Chen's family and friends gathered at the Shanghai Sports Building to watch the broadcast. Before diving, Chen was a gymnast. Her former gymnastics coach, Liu Chaohui, praised her for overcoming significant challenges to deliver an impressive performance.

      "The two girls shined in Paris with their best performances. I believe Chen overcame her injuries and presented her best. We look forward to her presence at the next Olympics. Chen Yuxi, you are excellent," said Liu.
