Mexican diver Osmar Olvera clinches gold in unprecedented victory at the Diving World Championships
Mexican Diver Osmar Olvera Ibarra Shines at World Aquatics Championships
Mexican Olympic diver Osmar Olvera Ibarra has made history by winning the gold medal in the men's 3-meter springboard event at the World Aquatics Championships held in Singapore on August 1, 2025. This victory marks the first time a male Mexican diver has claimed gold in an Olympic diving discipline at a World Championship.
Olvera's impressive performance at the Championships was marked by a flawless sixth dive, a forward 21⁄2 somersault with three twists, which sealed the win. His fifth dive, a forward 41⁄2 somersault in pike position, earned a remarkable 102.60 points, the highest score of the final.
Olvera's success in Singapore follows his bronze medal win in the same event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He also earned bronze in the 3-meter springboard and silver in synchronized diving at the Paris Games.
The Mexican Olympic diving team also had a successful outing at the Paris 2024 Olympics, winning 3 silver and 2 bronze medals.
Olvera's victory at the World Championships signals a new era for Mexican diving on the global stage. The Mexican team now boasts six medals at the Singapore Worlds, trailing only China's 14 and far ahead of other nations. Chinese diver Cao Yuan took silver with 522.70 points, while reigning world champion Wang Zongyuan earned bronze with 515.55 points.
Olvera's total score across six dives was 529.55 points, a testament to his consistency and skill. His victory is particularly significant as it comes after a period of struggle for the Mexican diving team, which has been plagued by funding issues.
In a surprising move, a Mexican Olympic diver resorted to opening an OnlyFans account to fund his training. While Olvera has not followed suit, his success serves as an inspiration for aspiring divers in Mexico and beyond.
As Red Bull Cliff Diving divers express their love for the cenotes of Yucatan, it seems that Mexican diving is poised for a resurgence on the world stage, with Olvera Ibarra at the helm.
