PARIS， Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- China's diving sensation Quan Hongchan led from start to win her second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the women's 10m platform at Paris 2024 here on Tuesday， while multiple new records in athletics， cycling， and sport climbing illustrated the Olympic motto of "Faster."

Quan， 17， scored a total of 425.60 points and ranked first for four out of the five dives， with only her third-round dive ranking second among the 12 finalists. She earned a full mark of 90 points for her first dive.

"I'm extremely happy for the victory，" said Quan， who shed tears while hugging her coach， former Olympic champion Chen Ruolin， after her final dive. "The past three years were really tough for me， and I could hardly describe how hard it was here in just a few minutes."

Her Chinese teammate Chen Yuxi took silver in a repeat of the podium finish from Tokyo 2020 on 420.70 points. Kim Mi Rae of DPR Korea took the bronze medal in 372.10.

This is Quan's second gold in Paris， after she had paired up with Chen to win the synchronized 10m platform event last Wednesday. China's diving team has taken all five golds at the Games so far， with three more to go.

Elsewhere in Tahiti， the Olympic surfing competition reached its final day of action after a three-day pause due to a lack of wave conditions. French surfer and Tahiti native Kauli Vaast surfed to victory in the men's final， while Caroline Marks improved from her fourth place in the Tokyo 2020 to continue the U.S. monopoly on the women's Olympic title.

This achievement marks the third time this year that the 18-year-old American has broken the men's speed world record. He previously set two records at a World Cup meet in China in April.

"I want to push times and get under 4.5 seconds. I want to be the best athlete and keep pushing the limits. That's always the person I've been and always the person I'll be in this sport，" Watson said after the qualifying round.
