Quan Hongchan of China is 14 years old and had never competed in a major diving meet until the Tokyo Olympics.

No problem.

All the kid did on Thursday was record two perfect 10s – that’s a 10 from all seven judges on one dive, followed by another dive that scored 10 from six of the judges – to win the gold medal in the woman’s 10-meter platform.

Quan dedicated her startling victory to her ill mother, The Associated Press reported.

β€œI want to make enough money to support her,” Quan said through an interpreter. β€œI listen to my coach very carefully and follow his instructions very carefully.”

Clearly. Watch the phenom rack up the 10s, to which an announcer says: β€œYou may never see anything like it again.”
