Chang Yani

Chang Yani, born on December seventh, two thousand one, is a prominent Chinese competitive diver known for her remarkable achievements in the sport. She first gained international recognition in two thousand sixteen when she and her partner Tai Xiaohu dominated the FINA Diving World Series, winning all four legs of the ten metre mixed platform synchronized event.

In two thousand seventeen, Chang continued to excel, securing two gold medals in the women's synchronized ten metre platform event alongside Ren Qian. That same year, she teamed up with Shi Tingmao to clinch two gold medals in the women's synchronized three metre springboard event, ultimately becoming world champions at the World Aquatics Championships held in Budapest.

Chang's impressive career continued with victories at the two thousand eighteen FINA Diving World Cup and the Asian Games. However, she faced challenges at the two thousand nineteen World Aquatics Championships, where she finished sixth in the one metre springboard final but still managed to earn a silver medal at the Military World Games in the same discipline.

The pinnacle of her career came during the two thousand twenty-four Summer Olympics in Paris, where she and Chen Yiwen achieved their first Olympic gold medals in the women's synchronized three metre springboard on July twenty-eight. Despite a shaky start in the women's three metre springboard event, Chang persevered to secure a bronze medal, showcasing her resilience and determination.
