After a near-perfect performance, Charli (8H) and Melissa Wu took out the gold in the Women’s 10m Synchronised Diving at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. With a score of 306.00, the duo outperformed English pair Eden Cheng and Andrea Spendolini Sirieix (298.86) by 7.14 points, while fellow English duo Robyn Birch and Emily Martin (287.88) went home with bronze.
Charli is the youngest Australian athlete at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Her diving partner, Melissa Wu, is competing in her fifth Commonwealth Games and feels energised and excited by Charli’s commitment to the sport. “Charli is young, but she’s also really mature. It’s been a lot of fun to get to know her. I feel like all the firsts she has experienced, I’m experiencing them again.” Melissa Wu told the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in Birmingham.
