### Osmar Olvera: A Double Olympic Medalist
The Mexican diver Osmar Olvera achieved remarkable success at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, securing a bronze medal in the men’s 3-meter springboard event. Olvera scored a total of 500.40 points, finishing behind the Chinese divers Siyi Xie (543.60 points) and Zongyuan Wang (530.20 points), who took the gold and silver medals, respectively.
This accomplishment marks a historic milestone for Olvera, as he becomes the first Mexican diver to win two medals in a single Olympic edition since Joaquín Capilla in Melbourne 1956. Capilla won a gold medal in the platform event and a silver in the springboard. Additionally, Olvera is the first Mexican athlete to achieve this feat since racewalker Raúl González, who won gold in the 50km and silver in the 20km events at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics.
At just 20 years old, Osmar Olvera enters the record books as the fifth-youngest multi-medalist in a single Olympic Games for Mexico and the youngest ever in the country’s history. Before him, notable Mexican multi-medalists include Humberto Mariles and Rubén Uriza (London 1948), Joaquín Capilla (Melbourne 1956), and Raúl González (Los Angeles 1984).
Olvera’s bronze medal in the individual springboard event is the 17th Olympic diving medal for Mexico, reinforcing the sport’s status as the most successful for the country. It also represents the eighth bronze medal and the fifth in the men’s individual springboard category for Mexico, with the last silver in this event being won by Fernando Platas in Sydney 2000.
