On the competition day of August 2, the Chinese sports delegation won 2 more gold medals from Diving and Badminton.
The duo Long Daoyi and Wang Zongyuan were the "openers" of the day's Gold medals for China when they won the men's doubles 3m springboard event.
Meanwhile, the pair Zheng Si Wei and Huang Ya Qiong won the Gold medal in mixed doubles badminton. This result is not surprising as they are currently ranked No. 1 in the world .
Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong had a convincing 21-8, 21-11 victory over South Korean pair Kim Won-ho and Jeong Na-eun.
China also secured the gold medal in women's doubles as the final will be a contest between two teams from this country.

Host country France also had a successful competition day when they won 3 more gold medals from athletes Teddy Riner (Judo), Leon Marchand (Swimming) and Joris Daudet (Biking).
Notably, Leon Marchand made history by winning the 200m medley. He finished first with a time of 1:54.06 to win and break the Olympic record.
