Silver that tastes like gold!
Osmar Olvera, Randal Willars, Gabriela Agúndez and Aranza Vázquez have just shown that Mexican diving talent knows no borders. With 460.85 points, they won the silver medal in the mixed team event.
China took the gold with 469.40 units, while Canada completed the podium with the bronze (448.80). A minimal difference that speaks of the incredible level that our athletes showed.
Jiuyuan Zheng, Renjie Zhao, Jiaxi Cui and Jian Chen were the Chinese quartet that emerged as the best team in this test.
Sweet news in a bitter moment
This victory comes when the national aquatic sport is going through difficult times. World Aquatics confirmed the cancellation of the Diving World Cup that was going to take place in Guadalajara from March 5 to 8.
The authorities are already moving chips. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that they will seek to dialogue with the organization to maintain competition in Jalisco. The possibility of moving it to Mexico City is also being considered, although nothing is confirmed yet.
What is certain is that these four divers taught us a lesson: hard work always pays off, even when circumstances are not ideal. Its silver resonates loud and clear in the midst of uncertainty.
