Chen Ruolin won two gold medals at her first performance at an Olympic Games. In 2008, she won the 10-meter platform event and the 10-meter synchronized event. She went on to replicate her performance in London in 2012, winning gold in the same two events. The year prior, in 2011, at the FINA World Championships, she again won the same two events, the 10-meter, individual and synchronized. Chen became the first female Chinese diver who claimed gold medals in all the women’s platform events in the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup. At the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, she won her fifth Olympic gold medal, in the 10-meter synchronized event, and became only the third Chinese athlete to win five Olympic gold medals. Unfortunately, Chen had to retire in late 2012, due to a neck injury.
She is considered one of the greatest female divers in Chinese diving history. She won 100 medals in major competitions, 84 of which were gold, 14 silver and 2 bronze.
