US closes in on China in gold medal count

Cao became the first diver to win Olympic gold medals in three different events after his triumph in the men's 10m platform.

"I tried not to think too much about the scores. Instead I tried stay calm. I just made sure that I didn't make errors in each dive," said Cao, who won the Olympic gold in men's synchronized 10m platform in 2012 and 3m springboard in 2016.

With the win, China made it seven gold medals out of eight events in diving at Tokyo 2020.
