SAINT-DENIS, France — China has won its sixth gold medal in diving at the Paris Olympics as it stays on track for an unprecedented sweep of all eight. China has dominated diving for decades but never has taken all eight golds. Xie Siyi captured the gold on the 3-meter springboard and teammate Wang Zongyuan won silver, repeating their finish in the event three years ago in Tokyo. Osmar Olvera of Mexico took bronze. Olvera says "we know that China is the team to beat." Chinese diver Chen Yiwen topped the semifinals of women's 3-meter springboard with the finals set for Friday.
