Chinese Female Diver Fu Mingxia won the platform-diving world championship in 1991 at the age of 12, making her the youngest diving champ of all time. She is also famous for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions, having earned gold at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Throughout the 1990s, Fu dominated the sport with her repertoire of extremely difficult dives.

on the diving board she looks so stern and concentrated it's actually quite intimidating but once she steps off she has such a cute smile ahhh

[@ebeyslough]

This diving venue is so iconic and immediately recognizable. So smart of Barcelona to consider this point when designing since it was seen by millions across the world.

[@pakopepefdez185]

I remenber that from my childhood and it was amazing views, but it easy when you have the pools on top of a mountain near the city since 1920 XD. It is call Piscina Municipal Montjuic.

[@XxKiDCuDiFTWxX]

Yes! I actually visited the Olympic park there a few years ago. It’s still in great shape.

[@rachaelhoffman8830]

She’s 13 years old, tremendous skill, let her be known. This should be applauded no doubt

[@goodpools]

2021 gold winner Hong Chan at 14 has performed just as flawlessly!

[@chocoluvluv]

I think Fu still ranks higher by means of her detailed action processing and rhythm. But Quan stole the scene for zero splash!

[@Thudothwacker]

I remember her. After this olympic. The age entree was raise higher. I was amaze on her skills. Together with Tatiana Gutsu of Unified team(former USSR) in gymnastic. Plus, of course the dream team. Barcelona 92 is memorable.

[@grubbs517]

I'd get more splash throwing a nickel from there. Outstanding.

[@acoolperson535]

must be a pretty heavy nickel then

diving is one of the many sports you really need to see in slow motion to appreciate the beauty.

[@malonecapone2]

The video needs to be stretched longer by 1 second after she entered the water to determine how much splash of water was created. It was abruptly cut short.

[@sepilokfui]

today we can see the different of human judges and machine judges. machine from all angles can measure exactly whether there is a mistake made or not and there is perfect 10 score... human judges, bias... today, the Chinese is like a robot, they did much difficult and much consistent dives than Fu and the dive is so much more beautiful.

Dont you have to be at least 16 to be able to go to the olimpics ? Great job anyways 👍👍👍

[@22suzie44]

It varies by sport. It is determined by each sport's International Federation.

[@AyakoTachi]

...most sports that favor younger participants (e.g. gymnastics) have made modifications to their age requirements since '92. Though diving remains permissive of one of the youngest ages - 14 now.

[@mariabirkemeier9099]

This was 1992 (Barcelona Olympics) when the 16 yrs rule was not yet in place.

[@elizabethoconnor1493]

I'm sorry, but this is inhumane. No 13 year old should be trained hard enough to be on competition level with 20 and 30 year-olds. She was clearly doing extreme regimens for years before she could perform at this level, beginning most likely at 3 or 4. Children can be athletes, but their talent shouldn't be marketed like international show ponies. Deplorable.
