Overview

• Gimeno scored 425.30 points to finish behind American James Lichtenstein’s 428.90 and ahead of Romania’s Constantin Popovici with 408.70.
• His podium finish completes Spain’s medal presence across all aquatic disciplines and ties the country’s record of 12 medals at a single World Aquatics Championships.
• The 35-year-old’s journey spans four world championships, improving from 13th in 2015 to his first podium in Singapore.
• The margin came down to his last dive—a quadruple and a half reverse in tuck position that resulted in an imperfect entry.
• By becoming the first Spanish high diver to medal at a world level, Gimeno has raised the profile of a relatively new discipline in international competition.
