Diver Olvera Secures Second Olympic Medal for Mexico
Mexican diver Osmar Olvera wins historic bronze in individual springboard at Paris 2024 Olympics, becoming the first Mexican to win two diving medals in a single Games. His coach, Ma Jin, celebrates his pupil's triumph.
Diver Osmar Olvera advanced to the individual springboard final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Wednesday, after obtaining the fourth best score corresponding to the semi-final of the event with 463.75 points, in a competition held at the Aquatic Center of the French capital, the venue for this discipline in the summer event.
With this result, Olvera Ibarra will have the opportunity to seek his second medal in the great competition, after climbing onto the podium with the silver medal in synchronized diving alongside Juan Manuel Celaya, an achievement that would place him as the first Mexican diver in 68 years to obtain a pair of Olympic medals in the same competition, emulating the feat achieved by Joaquín Capilla in the 1956 Melbourne edition.
