Mexican diver Osmar Olvera has set his sights on winning Olympic gold at the Los Angeles 2028 Games, expressing confidence that he will be in his best form. Olvera, who recently made a spectacular debut at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, secured three gold medals in the 1-meter springboard, 3-meter synchronized springboard, and 3-meter individual springboard events.

Returning to Mexico after his success in the Dominican Republic, the 22-year-old diver shared his ambition. "My dream remains the same, to be an Olympic champion, the goal remains the same," Olvera stated at Mexico City International Airport.

Olvera's impressive career already includes a world championship title and two Olympic medals from Paris 2024. Despite these achievements, he maintains a demanding approach to his training, constantly seeking self-improvement. He noted that he narrowly missed breaking his own records in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard events at the recent games, indicating a drive for perfection.

He also acknowledged the crucial role of his coach, Ma Jin, in his development. Looking ahead to the 2028 Olympics, Olvera sees himself as his own main competitor but issued a confident message to his international rivals, particularly those from China. "They now see us and are afraid we will beat them. Hopefully, they get used to that because I will keep training until it becomes habitual," he concluded.
