Chinese companies to support Mexican divers on the road to Los Angeles 2028

Mexico’s diving team is finding new support in China, despite the historic rivalry between the two countries in the sport. Chinese companies have begun backing the Mexican delegation as it prepares for the Olympic cycle leading to Los Angeles 2028.

The interest follows the international growth of divers such as Osmar Olvera, Juan Celaya, Yunuen Parra and Rut Páez. Their recent results at the Central American Games have brought praise from several sectors in China, but the recognition has also taken a practical form: companies will provide specialized equipment and technological tools to improve the athletes’ training.

The fact that Chinese companies are seeking to support Mexican sport says a great deal about the relationship between the two countries. We thank them for their affection toward Ma Jin, and we will make clear that the goal is to win the next Olympic Games. That is the dream, and we will work to make it happen.

Olvera welcomed the backing and linked it to relations between the two countries. “The fact that Chinese companies are seeking to support Mexican sport says a great deal about the relationship between the two countries,” he said. He also thanked supporters for their affection toward Ma Jin and made clear that the team’s goal is to win at the next Olympic Games.

Ma Jin, who has spent more than two decades developing diving in Mexico, said her main motivation for staying in the country has been to help its athletes grow. “I love seeing the flag at the top and hearing the national anthem,” she said. For the coach, sport involves more than winning medals. She stressed that athletes should also study and contribute to Mexico’s development, promising to continue working with dedication for the country’s divers.
