The final competition in the men’s three-meter synchronized jump had been imposed by the Chinese from the start. Zongyuan Wang and Xie Siyi both followed in the footsteps of their teammates who had dominated the women’s competition.
This time the winners had a 23-point advantage over the second team, the Americans.
Before the final series of jumps, the bronze seemed to be for the Mexicans. But the Germans fought to the end and took the Olympic medal with an excellent attempt. Patrick Houseding and Lars Rudiger were only four points ahead of the Mexican duo.
