Cao Yuan is a Chinese diver, born on 7 February 1995 in Hunan province, who started diving at five when his mother enrolled him in classes so that he would learn discipline. Across the Olympics he has won four golds, one silver and one bronze, and he is regarded as the best male diver of all time. In 2014 he became the only diver to win three golds at one World Diving Series event, taking the 3 metre synchro, 10 metre synchro and 10 metre individual. At Rio in 2016 he won the 3 metre springboard with 547.60 and bronze in the synchro with Qin Kai. He took silver in the synchronised 10 metre platform with Chen Aisen and gold in the individual platform in Tokyo, and in Paris in 2024 he won the platform again, the first athlete since Greg Louganis to win consecutive gold medals in that event.
